The preservation of documents is one of the manifestations of the prestige، power and sovereignty of the state as it represents its memory that reflects its successes، influences، failures and activities. Documents whether administrative، security، scientific or historical which belong to the legislative، judicial and executive departments of the state، including documents related to public figures، institutions and organizations which are not affiliated with a ministry are the most important elements of the work of institutions and to the national culture and human history. It is one of the most important components of the political، administrative، security and human memory of the state extending to the deepest roots of its components. In addition، it represents an asset and cultural heritage of the state and society.
