Heritage is recognised as a vital growth driver for many of Diageo’s brands. The Guinness Archive at Guinness Storehouse, Ireland’s No. 1 visitor attraction, plays an integral role in protecting and managing the history and heritage of the GUINNESS brand and Diageo beer brands in Ireland.

The Archive holds the 1759 lease, the foundation document of the brand, and over 7,000 linear metres of paper material, over 10,000 photographs, 1,000 items of film/ video, a large advertising collection and a large artefact collection
The Guinness Archive is the only corporate Archive open to the public in Ireland and is located in Guinness Storehouse, the Home of Guinness, authenticating the visitor experience, acting as the public face for all historical enquiries from the Guinness Storehouse audience. The Archive is also an integral support to the promotion of the Guinness brand globally.
