- The Swiss Federal Archive in Bern has the statutory task of safeguarding, indexing, making available and evaluating archival documents of the Swiss Federal Assembly, the Federal Council, the Federal Administration and Swiss representations abroad. In accordance with the Federal Law on Archiving, it thus contributes to legal certainty, continuous and rational administrative management and makes government action comprehensible. The oldest holdings of the archive go back to the Central Archive of the Helvetic Republic, which was founded on 18 December 1798.
