Welcome to the Jane Cameron National Archives website, the website of the National Archives of the Falkland Islands.

Jane Cameron was born in the Falkland Islands in 1950 and was the Granddaughter of a Falkland Islands' Colonial Secretary, later Governor, and a sibling to the Falkland Islands' UK Representative Sukey, who retired in 2019, and to Donald. She returned to the Islands in 1989, after living in the United Kingdom where she studied, to take up the newly-created post of Government Archivist. Jane's brother, Donald, said that Jane's work started with a mountain of cardboard boxes filled with dusty historic documents stored in Government House and the Secretariat. Over the next 20 years Jane became well known for her dedication to preserving the Islands' history in all of its forms including the preservation of buildings.

Sadly Jane passed away in 2009. The archives were changed to a National Archives in 2010 and re-named the Jane Cameron National Archives in recognition of her work and dedication to the history of the Falkland Islands. Since then work in the National Archives has continued, allowing the service to expand its collection and to ensure the preservation and accessibility of records held in order that maximum use can be made of them.
