Archival Research Services

For researchers interested in using archival resources, you may consult with our archivists by setting up an appointment with them through nas@nlb.gov.sg. Our archivist can then discuss with you what would be the best approach and help to explain to you how our materials are organised to enable you a better chance at locating relevant resources.
