The National Archives and Library of Ethiopia, located in Addis Ababa, is the national library and archives of the country. The library was inaugurated in 1944 by His Imperial Majesty Haile Selassie and began service with books donated by the king. In 1976, proclamation No. 50/76 gave the library the legal right to collect three copies of every material published in the country. It is currently a unit of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism.
The archives was established in 1979, and its collection includes ancient and historical manuscripts written from as early as the fourteenth and fifteenth century. It started functioning with archives from the Ministry of the Grand Palace, Palace of the Crown Prince, and others. The archive includes letters written by several kings, empresses, and princes.
