Since 1960, the Colonial Building has been the home of the Provincial Archives of Newfoundland and Labrador, which possesses an extensive collection of public and private records relating to the province's history. The collection includes, maps, photographs, cine films, audio tapes, books, magazines and newspapers together with microfilm copies of historic records of Newfoundland origin held by other institutions around the world.
The increasing interest in family and local history has meant that the Provincial Archives provides services to many genealogists and local historians. The Archives boasts a substantial collection of church records and vital statistics registers and regularly endeavour to increase these collections.
