The National Archives contain everything from census records to written protocols for the registration of motor vehicles. Some say these buildings hold an excessive amount of paper: the shelves inside the box-like buildings are 12 metres tall, and there is a total of 370 kilometres of shelf space inside. Along those shelves lie several tons of important historical documents.
The building was designed by PLH architects, and features simple geometry with large wall surfaces adorned with runic reliefs, giving the façade a graphic display of light and shadow. The runes refer to the contents of the building.
