The Almere City Archives ('Stadsarchief Almere') is the municipal historical documentation centre. It is a historical and topographical archive that contains documents, maps, books and a considerable collection of photographic and audio-visual material. It maintains the archives of the municipality of Almere, as well as those of private organisations and individual residents.
Database
Almere's digital archive - digitaalerfgoed.almere.nl - is a valuable resource providing access to a wealth of materials available in digital form for historical research.
The database contains PDF files of local public policy documents (1976 to 1994) and a photo collection featuring some 40.000 images.
The remaining documents preserved by Stadsarchief Almere are listed in inventories.
These brief descriptions can be searched in their entirety.
