Welcome to the official website of the Directorate of Archives and Libraries, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa — a central platform to explore the province’s rich cultural heritage and growing network of knowledge resources.

The Directorate serves a dual role: as the guardian of invaluable historical archives and as the engine behind an expanding public library system. Through the preservation of rare documents, digitization of historical records, and modernization of libraries, the Directorate is playing a key part in promoting education, research, and cultural awareness across the province.

Guided by the vision of the Higher Education, Archives and Libraries Department, we are committed to making information and knowledge accessible to all. From developing e-libraries and digital archives to expanding library services in remote areas, these initiatives reflect our dedication to inclusive learning and long-term preservation of our documentary heritage.

We encourage students, researchers, historians, and the general public to take full advantage of the resources and services offered by the Directorate. Together, let us nurture a culture of reading, inquiry, and lifelong learning for a brighter, more informed future.
