Staatsarchiv Aargau, Cantonal archives in Aarau, Switzerland
The State Archives of Aargau preserve administrative records, municipal registers, and historical documents within a central building in Aarau.
The archives were formally established in 1803 following the creation of Canton Aargau, collecting documents from territories previously under Bernese and Habsburg administration.
The facility maintains extensive collections of land registers, tax records, and personal papers that document the development of Aargau society.
Researchers can access documents by appointment during opening hours and receive assistance from staff members for their investigations.
The institution holds manuscripts dating back to the Middle Ages and serves as a national reference for Swiss documentary heritage preservation.
