Usually not a place, more like a library in a way.

Giving everyone to the public access to it.

A place where researchers and those with an interest can freely learn and connect with the material.

I like to think of the archives as our memory bank into the past.

Shared in a way that reaches the largest amount of people and spreads history.

Useful for researchers and people interested to come and learn about certain topics
