Sierra Leone Public Archives Office

The Sierra Leone Public Archives Office was established by an Act of Parliament in 1965 which mandated the Public Archives Office to make provisions for the preservation, arrangement, custody, repair and rehabilitation of all public records which had value for posterity. The records in the Public Repository cover many aspects of Sierra Leone history from the 18th century to the contemporary period. The repository holds information on the evolution of Sierra Leone from the Province of Freedom to merging of the colony with the Protectorate in 1898.
