The Bureau of Records and Correspondence is a bureau of the Ministry of Culture. It is responsible for the records of government in the Commonwealth, and administers the cable and teleprinter networks that government correspondence is sent over. The Commonwealth Central Archives is one of its corporations.

Because almost every bureau holds its own files, the bureau has a role in nearly all of government. Its records officers are drawn from the Central Records Service, and are posted to file registries throughout the ministries and bureaus under the authority of the Ministry of Culture. The bureau’s present powers date from the Commonwealth Records Act of 2042.

The Central Archives holds the permanent records of the Commonwealth, and documents the general disposition, culture and demography of its people. Its regional archives include Brimstone Hill Fortress on Kitts, an 18th-century British fortification.
