The WBG Archives reading room will be closed from August 4 – October 3, 2025, to allow for a relocation of our offices.
During relocation, the World Bank Group Archives continues to respond to Access to Information requests. However, the Archives Reading Room will be closed to external visitors during this period.
Requested records requiring declassification will be added to the Access to Information declassification review and digitization queue and will be made available electronically once the process is complete.
In addition to publicly available digitized material included in the Archives Catalog and in the Bank’s site, the resources listed on the Archives’ page are also available for research.
