The First Historical Archives of China (FHAC; 中国第一历史档案馆) is a central-level national archive located in Dongcheng, Beijing, under the National Archives Administration of China. Originally established in 1925, it is responsible for collecting and managing archives of central government agencies during the Ming and Qing dynasties and earlier dynasties.[1][2][3] It holds about 10 million historical documents.[4]

The First Historical Archives of China is in contrast to the Second Historical Archives of China, which is responsible for collecting and managing archives of central government agencies during the Republic of China period, from 1912 to 1949.[5]
