+## PEL Archiving
+
+When an OpenBMC event log is deleted its corresponding PEL is moved to
+an archive folder. These archived PELs will be available in BMC dump.
+The archive path: /var/lib/phosphor-logging/extensions/pels/logs/archive.
+
+Highlighted points are:
+- PELs whose corresponding event logs have been deleted will be available
+  in the archive folder.
+- Archive folder size is tracked along with logs folder size and if
+  combined size exceeds warning size all archived PELs will be deleted.
+- Archived PEL logs can be viewed using peltool with flag --archive.
+- If a PEL is deleted using peltool its not archived.
+
