National Archives of Singapore (NAS)
National Archives of Singapore, Singapore
Self-description:
"The National Archives of Singapore (NAS) is the official custodian of the Singapore government's corporate memory. To fill gaps in the nation's history, NAS also acquires records from private sources. The rich holdings of archives form an important part of Singapore's heritage for enjoyment by the present and future generations of Singaporeans through exhibitions, outreach and publication programmes.
Established by an act of parliament in 1968, NAS was first known as the National Archives and Records Centre. It has since undergone many name changes and transformation to evolve into the National Archives of Singapore in 1993. [...] As of 2006, NAS holds more than 10,855 linear metres of paper files and records, 280,000 microfilm reels, 3.88 million images, 15,376 hours of oral history recordings and 76,620 hours of audio-visual records in our repositories."
