North Rhine-Westphalia State Archives Westphalia Division
North Rhine-Westphalia State Archives Westphalia Division, Government archive in Münster, Germany
The State Archives Westphalia Division contains extensive records from secular and ecclesiastical territories across twelve centuries of regional documentation history.
Founded in 1832, the institution houses documents from former Prussian territories and dissolved monasteries from the province of Westphalia before 1815.
The archives maintain a collection of medieval manuscripts, governmental records, and modern digital materials that document the evolution of North Rhine-Westphalia.
Visitors can access the reading room through an elevator, with two reserved parking spaces near the rear entrance providing barrier-free accessibility.
The division manages documents from state authorities, courts, and tax offices in the districts of Arnsberg and Münster, serving as a central research facility.
