The newly opened center is expected to become a cultural destination in Hanoi, where visitors can engage directly with historical artifacts such as the Chế Cáo Chi Bảo seal cast under Emperor Gia Long (1802–1820) and the Sắc Mệnh Chi Bảo seal issued in the 8th year of Emperor Minh Mang’s reign (1827). The Chế Cáo Chi Bảo seal was used on official documents conferring titles and duties upon civil and military officials, while the Sắc Mệnh Chi Bảo seal was used for royal edicts and honors bestowed upon officials and deities. The launch of this archival space also coincides with the implementation of the 2024 Archives Law, which guarantees the public’s right to access historical information. The Sắc Mệnh Chi Bảo seal from 1827 was used to issue imperial honors and decrees. The Chế Cáo Chi Bảo seal cast under Emperor Gia Long symbolized royal authority over civil and military appointments.
