About Us

Welcome to the National Archives of Hungary!

The National Archives of Hungary is the nation's record keeper. Archival work in the 21st century is not only to collect, to catalog, and to restore historic documents, but also to serve the needs of society and the citizens, and provide them assistance in their research into history.

We preserve these valuable records and make them available for you if you want to research your family’s history or a historical topic that interests you.
