National Archives of Singapore

The NAS is responsible for the collection and management of records relating to the nation's political, social and economic history.

NAS also identifies and collects records of historical significance from local and overseas private sources.

It holds records as far back as 1800, 19 years before the arrival of Sir Stamford Raffles and the founding of the modern nation.

Requests for archives are made easier with a new online system replacing the need for forms.
