*************

The National Archives (TNA) is an executive agency of the Ministry of Justice of the United Kingdom.^[2] It is ""the UK government's official archive, containing 1,000 years of history"".^[3] There are separate national archives in some of the devolved parts of the United Kingdom: the National Archives of Scotland holds government and private documents relating to Scotland and the Public Record Office of Northern Ireland holds records for Northern Ireland.

TNA was formerly four separate organisations: the Public Record Office, the Historical Manuscripts Commission, the Office of Public Sector Information (OPSI) and Her Majesty's Stationery Office (HMSO).

It is institutional policy to include the definite article, with an initial capital letter, in its name (hence ""The National Archives"", sometimes abbreviated as TNA) but this practice is rarely followed in the non-specialist media.

The National Archives is based in Kew in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames in south-west London. The building was opened in 1977 as an additional home for the public records, which were held in a building on Chancery Lane. The site was originally a World War I hospital, which was later used by several government departments.^[4] It is near to Kew Gardens Underground station.

Until its closure in March 2008, the Family Records Centre in Islington was run jointly by The National Archives and the General Register Office. The National Archives has an additional office in Norwich, which is primarily for former OPSI staff. There is also an additional record storage facility (DeepStore^[5]) in the worked-out parts of Winsford Rock Salt Mine, Winsford, Cheshire.

The National Archives was created in 2003 by combining the Public Record Office and the Historical Manuscripts Commission and is both a non-ministerial government department in its own right and an executive agency reporting to the Secretary of State for Justice. The current Acting Chief Executive (formally Keeper of the Public Records and Historical Manuscripts Commissioner) is Oliver Morley. He succeeded Natalie Ceeney, formerly Director of Operations and Services at the British Library, who was Chief Executive from 2005 to 2010. She replaced Sarah Tyacke (also previously of the British Library), who retired in October 2005.

On 31 October 2006, The National Archives merged with the Office of Public Sector Information (OPSI), which itself also contained Her Majesty's Stationery Office (HMSO) which was previously a part of the Cabinet Office. The name remained The National Archives.
