The National Archives (TNA) is an executive agency of the Department for Culture, Media and Sport of the United Kingdom. It is "the UK government's official archive, containing 1,000 years of history".〔The National Archives. "(About us )". Retrieved 17 November 2008.〕 There are separate national archives for Scotland (the National Records of Scotland) and Northern Ireland (the Public Record Office of 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", abbreviated as TNA) but this practice is rarely followed in the non-specialist media. ==Location== 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. 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) in the worked-out parts of Winsford Rock Salt Mine, Winsford, Cheshire. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The National Archives (United Kingdom)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
