The Nationaal Archief

 

The Nationaal Archief manages the archives of central government, the present-day province of South Holland and the former province of Holland, and archives relating to the former colonies. It also manages the archives of private individuals and organisations that supplement these databases.

 

Members of the public can access Nationaal Archief archives free of charge and without a prior appointment in our reading room. Staff are always on hand, except on Saturday mornings, to assist anyone carrying out independent research. Information on opening times and how to get to us can be found at our website: http://www.nationaalarchief.nl/bezoekinformatie.

 

A study has been made, using our archives, of sources containing information on the three themes that are also dealt with on this website: explorers, allies and emigrants. A list of relevant archive material on each is given below. Finally, a separate section has

been included on images. Although we are aware that the list below is not exhaustive, we trust that it offers researchers sufficient leads.

 

Access to parts of some of the archives referred to is restricted. Under certain conditions, exemption may be obtained from these restrictions.
