Saxony State Archives

The Saxony State Archives is a modern storage facility in Dresden that houses historical records, manuscripts, photographs, and governmental documents. The building preserves multiple kilometers of collections that document Saxony's past.

The institution was founded in 1993 to unite and centrally manage Saxony's archival materials. This resulted from reforms that modernized earlier archival systems.

Visitors find records about family history and migrations that provide insight into how Saxon society developed over time. Many people use these materials to explore their own roots or to research regional history.

The archive is located at Archivstraße 14 and offers digital catalogs plus online access to selected collections for remote research. Visitors can view materials in person or use digital resources from home.

The archive combines contemporary storage technology with traditional conservation methods to protect materials for future generations. At the same time, it functions as an active government agency that receives and manages new documents daily.
