EMBL Archive

Preserving and sharing the Laboratory’s heritage

The EMBL Archive captures, preserves and shares records and archival material from across EMBL’s sites and activities, in both analogue and digital formats. As a whole, these holdings bear witness to the Laboratory’s scientific research and institutional activities, and to the history of European molecular biology.

Our vision

We aim to provide a resource that supports and documents the history and development of European molecular biology research, instrumentation, and training, as well as its engagement with and impact on society, people, and the environment.

Our mission

The EMBL Archive and Records Management (ARM) mission is twofold: 

  • To capture, preserve and make accessible EMBL’s documentary heritage and archival holdings.
  • To support EMBL staff and faculty with the management, use and disposition of their records across all EMBL sites.
