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.[1]
The national archives hold (at least parts of) four inscriptions on UNESCO's Memory of the World International Register: the Slave Trade and Slavery Records in Mauritius (1721–1892),[2] Records of the French Occupation of Mauritius,[3] the archival collections on the blessed Fr. Jacques Désiré Laval[4] and the Records of Indentured Immigration.[5]
