Collections
editThe earlier material dates from the British Colonial period (1878-1960).[1][2]
Legislation
editThe first law that established the Public Archive was enacted in 1972 and the archive started its work in 1978, with a delay due to the Turkish invasion of Cyprus in 1974. In 1991 it was renamed from Public to State Archive. The 1991 is still in force with some modifications.
