Welcome to Digital Heritage Almere

Almere City Archives presents Digital Heritage Almere: a treasure of information for everyone interested in the history of Almere.

On this website you can find thousands of images and digital copies of files from the municipal archives. These archives consists of records created by the city of Almere, but also by her administrative precursor the Openbaar Lichaam Zuidelijke IJsselmeerpolders (ZIJP).

It is also possible to browse through private archives and the library of the city archives. Both of these collections are not accessible in digital form. Items can be reserved for viewing in our reading room via stadsarchief@almere.nl.

Visit our exhibition Women of Almere, available until March 2.
