Archive Treasures 2005–2015, the ninth album by English folk group the Unthanks, was released on 11 December 2015. It contains archive recordings, most of them previously unreleased, spanning the group's 10-year history of recording. These include live tracks, demos and outtakes and BBC session tracks. A recording from 2000 of The Unthank Family Band also appears on the album.

Although also available as a stand-alone item, the album was initially released as part of a limited edition package called Memory Box, which also contained a Christmas 7" single (the first Unthanks single to be issued in this format) and other items to commemorate the band's 10th anniversary.
