Stadsarchief en Athenaeumbibliotheek, Municipal archive and scientific library in Deventer, Netherlands
The Stadsarchief en Athenaeumbibliotheek is an archive and scholarly library housed in a restored monastery building at Klooster 12 in Deventer. The collection includes manuscripts, early printed books, regional publications, and works spanning several centuries.
The institution was founded in 1560 when the Deventer city council purchased a significant book collection that formed its foundation. Over time, additional important holdings were acquired, including materials from dissolved institutions in the region.
The institution holds literary works from local writers and preserves historical children's books along with regional prints that reflect how the community's literary life developed. These materials show what people in the area were reading and publishing over time.
Visitors can examine archival materials, manuscripts, and reference works in a study room with assistance from the information staff. The facility is accessible during opening hours for anyone interested in studying the historical collections.
The collection holds rare books from the dissolved University of Harderwijk that are difficult to find elsewhere. It also includes manuscripts from the 12th century, showing how far back the tradition of collecting reaches.
