Archives Made Easy

Welcome to Archives Made Easy, an on-line guide to archives around the globe.

Hosted by the International History department at the London School of Economics and Political Science, Archives Made Easy aims to empower historical researchers of all levels and make unrewarding research trips a thing of the past. 

Archives Made Easy serves the global research community by providing transparency of the costs and processes involved in an archive visit – the kind of information researchers need to know beforehand in order to avoid costly mistakes and delays.

To tell us about your archive experience, or to update an existing Easy Archive Tip, just download the Easy Archive Tip template and submit it to our webmaster.

Please note that only archives that have been reviewed will appear on this site. For a directory of archives worldwide, please click on the link to the UNESCO archives portal. UNESCO's search engine allows users to search by country as well as by theme.
