Originally established in 1996 as part of the Faculty of History, the Faculty of Archival Studies and Office Management of Hà Nội University of Social Sciences and Humanities subsequently became a separate department and is now Việt Nam's only tertiary training centre in archival science. It offers four-year BA and two-year MA programmes in Archival Studies and Office Management. Many members of the archival profession in neighbouring Laos and Cambodia were trained here.
