	In 2011, as a cost-saving measure, the National Archives was administratively combined with the National Library of the Faroe Islands, the National Museum of the Faroe Islands, the Natural History Museum, and the Kaldbak Marine Biological Laboratory () to form Faroese National Heritage (). In 2017 Faroese National Heritage () was dissolved and the National Archives of the Faroe Islands became an independent institution directly under the Ministry of Culture.
