National Archives of Mauritius


The National Archives of Mauritius are located in Coromandel, Mauritius. The archives were officially established in 1815, one of the earliest such institutions established in the Southern Hemisphere.
The national archives hold four inscriptions on UNESCO's Memory of the World International Register: the Slave Trade and Slavery Records in Mauritius, Records of the French Occupation of Mauritius, the archival collections on the blessed Fr. Jacques Désiré Laval and the Records of Indentured Immigration.
