Good for historical and social research
On a recent holiday visiting National Archives to research family history. The help given by all staff was extraordinary. Despite my having no language other than English the staff assisted in every way they could. The building, the search room and surrounds were new and well suited to the search task.
Well designed architecture building. Staff's can speak in English or sometime if you want in Sinhala. A different inner looking. Awesome.
Excellent service
