The mandate of the Provincial Archives is to collect, preserve and
make available all records from the government and private sources
which have any bearing on the history of the province.
The Provincial Archives is the proud occupier of the
Colonial Building; along with co-operative organizations such
as the Association of Newfoundland and Labrador Archives (ANLA),
the Newfoundland Historical Society, and the Newfoundland and
Labrador Sports Archives.
In Summer 1997 the Newfoundland and Labrador Heritage
Web Site Project and PANL collaborated on the creation of a web version of the pamphlet:
"If These Walls Could Talk". The pamphlet was based on an exhibition
on the history of the Colonial Building held by the
Provincial Archives of Newfoundland and Labrador (PANL).
The exhibition was curated by Patti Ryan and presented at
the Colonial Building in Fall 1997. Excerpts and photos
appear on the site courtesy of PANL.
