The University Archives exists to preserve and make available the archival records of The Australian National University (ANU). The archives document the unique history of the ANU within the national context of the development of higher education in Australia and within the context of ANU's physical location in Canberra, Australia's capital city.

In 2001 the role and resources of the University Archives were reviewed and as a result the Australian National University Archives Program (ANUAP) was created. The University Archives forms one arm of the ANUAP and the Noel Butlin Archives Centre the other.
