National Archives, Public records building in Calidonia, Panama
The National Archives of Panama maintains federal records and historical documents in a central facility on Avenida Peru in Panama City.
The institution, established in 1912 under President Belisario Porras, made Panama the first republic in the Americas with a dedicated archival building.
The National Archives preserves Panama's documentary heritage through an extensive collection of governmental records, diplomatic materials, and historical manuscripts.
Researchers need formal authorization from an Archives Department officer and an institutional letter to access the extensive document collection.
The National Archives provides unrestricted access to all documents predating Panama's 1903 independence, offering direct insights into colonial-era records.
