The National Archives of Australia are preparing to move more than 15 million articles within their Canberra storage facility in Mitchell to their brand new warehouse.

Construction of the gigantic $64 million facility is already well underway, and the archives will collect the keys in November with the move to be completed by June next year.

The purpose-built warehouse has been designed to house more than a century of Australian history, including the early documents of Federation and sensitive classified material.
