Archives d'État de Genève, Cantonal archive in Genève-Cité, Switzerland.

The Archives d'État de Genève maintains 30 kilometers of shelves containing government records, private archives, maps, and photographs documenting Geneva's evolution.

Founded in 1839, the building was initially constructed in the early 18th century as a granary before becoming a military depot and later housing archives.

The institution preserves documents from the Protestant Reformation, notarial records, and materials from political parties, unions, and associations of Geneva.

Researchers can access digital versions of documents through the archives' website, including municipal council debates from 1842 to 2002.

The Hans Wilsdorf Foundation finances a new archives building project at the Arsenal de Plainpalais site to replace current aging facilities.
