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.[1]
