The National Archives of Senegal (Archives Nationales du Sénégal) 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.
The archives hold two collections inscribed by UNESCO on the Memory of the World international register. The fonds of the "Afrique occidentale française", inscribed in 1997, contain extensive documentation of the art and culture of French West Africa. A collection of 1,515 postcards from the early 20th century was added to the register in 2015.
