Museum of Archives, Historical archives museum in Daan District, Taipei, Taiwan.
The Museum of Archives is a repository for documents and records that trace Taiwan's history and the development of its educational institutions. The building stands on the Shuiyuan Campus of National Taiwan University and holds materials spanning several centuries.
The museum was founded in 2007 out of the need to systematically preserve and make Taiwan's written heritage accessible to research. The establishment marked a turning point in recognizing documents as central sources of national memory.
The museum displays institutional development through original documents that record different periods and social transitions. The exhibition allows visitors to encounter written sources directly that would otherwise remain inaccessible to most.
The museum is located on the university campus and is most easily reached by Taipei Metro; exit at Gongguan Station and head east. Plan time for a walk across the grounds, as the buildings are spread across the campus area.
The museum holds seals, charters, and administrative documents whose handwriting and colors reflect how earlier times functioned. These direct traces show not only what happened in history but also how it was recorded.
