This database, which is at present work in progress, when fully developed will be your gateway to resources in archives at the Sri Lanka National Archives. Through this portal, you can search for details (archival descriptions) about archives, find digital images, videos, and discover the archives with the information you need. It will be a national portal to Sri Lanka's evidential archives, found in nearly 800 fonds of institutional and private entities.
At present, this database holds a part of the records of the Ministry of Cultural Affairs and the general summaries of around 200 record groups taken from the Guide to the Sources of Asian History, Sri Lanka (1996). Other inventories are in the process of being uploaded.
