The Arquivo Histórico Nacional is the national archive of Angola. Overseen by the Ministry of Culture[1], it is headquartered in the city of Luanda on Rua Pedro Felix Machado. As of 2016 a new archives building was under construction in Camama.[1] The Arquivo Histórico Nacional originated in the Centro Nacional de Documentação e Investigação Histórica.[2]
The archive is one of the institutions that hold the Ndembu Archives, which are listed on UNESCO's Memory of the World International Register.[2] A set of slave registration books from 1856 to 1875 formed part of another set of heritage also inscribed on the register.[3]
