Abstract
This paper shares the journey of the National Library Board (NLB) of Singapore in exploring the synergies between the National Archives of Singapore and the NLB. It also outlines the plans made so far in achieving synergy between the two institutions and their functions. In October 2012, a consultancy on the coming together of the library and archives was commissioned and completed, and a Roundtable comprising participants from the Library and Archives Canada, National Library of Netherlands, National Library of New Zealand and National Library of Switzerland was held at the National Library of Singapore in January 2013. The recommendations from the consultancy report and learning points of the Roundtable are also highlighted in this paper.
