World Wide Diplomatic Archives Index: Syria

Legislation

There is currently no system of declassification. The National Archives Directorate and the Asad National Library house materials primarily from before the 1950s. This information is readily available to the public. More recent material is kept at the National Information Center. Visitors are required to make an appointment before visiting the center, but documents of a sensitive nature, including most diplomatic material are inaccessible.

Location

The Asad National Library is located on Malki Street in Damascus.
