State Archives Dresden, State archive in Dresden, Germany.

The State Archives Dresden holds over 47,000 meters of records, 53,000 documents, and 360,000 cards and plans in its collection at Archivstraße 14.

Founded in 1834 as the sole state archive in Sachsen, the institution maintained this status until 1933 when additional regional archives were established.

The archives preserve municipal records dating from 1260, including guild documents, estate papers, and administrative materials that detail Dresden's community development.

Researchers need to submit an application form through the official website before visiting, and access to materials is provided in the reading room.

The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum maintains copies of specific documents from the Dresden State Archives related to World War II events.
