	Public Record Office - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Public Record Office (PRO) was established in 1838 to reform the keeping of government and court records which were being kept, sometimes in poor conditions, in a variety of places.
		The growing size of the archives held by the PRO and by government departments led to the Public Records Act 1958, which established standard procedures for the selection of documents of historical importance to be kept by the PRO.
		The National Archives of Scotland and the Public Record Office of Northern Ireland were and remain entirely separate institutions.
