Preserving the collected memories of over six centuries, the Corfu Records Office is the biggest collection of its kind in the country (approx. 8,500 linear metres of material). It is the richest in historical documents and has been in existence continuously since 1443. It includes priceless collections of illuminated manuscripts on vellum, architectural plans and maps and topographical studies, while the 70 series of records are characterised by the regularity of their flow of documents , chiefly from 1537 and onwards. The Record Office is run according to the most up-to-date European specifications, with researchers having access to all the material which is classified, whether according to administrative periods or according to the department producing the document.
