It is the main archive for sources of the history of Scotland as a separate kingdom, her role in the British isles and the links between Scotland and many other countries over the centuries.

The National Archives
The National Archives was launched in April 2003, and brings together two existing organisations, the Public Record Office and the Historical Manuscripts Commission.  The National Archives has one of the largest archival collections in the world, spanning 1000 years of British history, from the Domesday Book to government papers recently released to the public. You can see this collection at Kew, west London, or view certain documents online.  The National Archives also advises people on the location of non-public records and manuscripts relating to British history.
