    • Size:

      Currently small, but we have ambitions of becoming a very large repository.
    • Holdings:

      We have collections that date from 1800. The most complete collection is the colonial archives. All the rest are still being organized. The situation or state of the different repositories in the country is due to their neglect eleven years after independence.
