Budapest City Archives, Municipal archive in Budapest, Hungary
The Budapest City Archives contains millions of records, photographs, and documents detailing the development and administration of the Hungarian capital since 1300.
Founded in 1873 during the unification of Buda, Pest, and Óbuda, the archives experienced significant losses when one-quarter of materials burned during World War II.
The institution preserves historical documents that reflect Budapest's transformation from three separate cities into a major European capital through administrative records and personal papers.
Researchers can access the archives' extensive collection of documents, maps, and photographs free of charge at the main office on Bécsi kapu tér 2-4.
The archives store approximately 36,000 linear meters of documents in a specialized building opened in 2004, featuring modern database systems for public access.
