Paris. Since the opening of the Pierrefitte-sur-Seine site in 2013, the historic Paris site stores only the documents and records from before the French Revolution, as well as the so-called Minutier central of Paris, i.e. the archives of all the Parisian notaries extending from the 15th century to the beginning of the 20th century. Since 1867 it has also housed the Musée des Archives Nationales. In 2004, the Paris site of the National Archives kept of physical records: of pre-French Revolution archives; of records of the French central state from 1790 to 1958; of Paris notary records (Minutier central); of private archives, notably the archives of the aristocratic families seized at the time of the French Revolution; of books; and finally of ancient maps and plans.

Designed by the Italian architect Massimiliano Fuksas, it opened to the public in January 2013. It was meant to become the main site of the National Archives, with a capacity of of shelves, one of the largest storage capacities in the world. In 2012-2013, more than 50 km of records from the historic Paris site and 150 km of records from the newer Fontainebleau site were moved to the new Pierrefitte site.
