History

The Centre des correspondences de l’Etat formed in 1874, and became Archives générales du gouvernement in 1883. The archives became a "public institution in accordance with the stipulations of Act n° 88-95" in 1988.[2] Its headquarters moved from the office of the prime minister in 1999 to its current building, designed by Samy Ateb and Fethi El Bahri.[1] It is near the national library. Directors have included Moncef Fakhfakh (1986-circa 1993?)[1] and Hédi Jallab (2011-circa 2016?).[1][3]
