The Direction Nationale des Archives du Mali is a governmental entity responsible for safeguarding archival heritage of Mali, including the collection and preservation of its national archives.[1] The National Assembly approved its creation in 2002 (decree n°02-262/P-RM du 24 mai 2002). Previously the Minister of Culture directed archives-related efforts.[2]
