National Archives of Senegal

The Archives Nationales du Sénégal (in English: National Archives of Senegal) is headquartered in Dakar, in the "Central Park" building on Avenue Malick Sy. It was first called "Archives Nationales" in 1962, but the collection existed since 1913 as the archives of the colonial French West Africa administration. It moved from Saint-Louis to Dakar after 1958.[1]
