Stadsarchief Amsterdam, Municipal archive and museum in Amsterdam, Netherlands
The Amsterdam City Archives occupies the De Bazel building, containing millions of documents, maps, photographs, and records from the city's administration since 1275.
The archives moved to their current location in 2007 after extensive renovation of the former Netherlands Trading Company headquarters, built between 1919 and 1926.
The institution maintains genealogical records, architectural drawings, business documents, and personal collections that reflect Amsterdam's development through maritime trade and immigration.
Researchers can access the reading rooms and digital catalogs Tuesday through Friday from 10:00 to 17:00, with staff available to assist in document retrieval.
The temperature-controlled storage vaults extend 23 meters underground, protecting over 50 kilometers of shelves containing irreplaceable historical materials from Amsterdam's past.
