Public Records and Archives Administration Department

The Public Records and Archives Administration Department building in Adabraka displays a stark, utilitarian geometry common to mid-twentieth-century civic architecture in Accra. This structure serves as the primary guardian of Ghana’s national memory, housing documents that trace the country’s colonial past and its transition to independence. Inside these walls, archivists manage fragile records salvaged from administrative offices across the nation. The facility preserves the written evidence of state history, protecting files that remain crucial for land disputes, family lineages, and official government business.
