Municipal Archives of Amsterdam in an old city like Amsterdam, the Municipal archives are enormous. In 2007 the municipality moved them to the huge building in the city center, creating probably the biggest city archive in the whole world. It is much bigger than the archives of London, Paris or Rome. This is because of the fact that important archives of companies (as Heineken or De Bijenkorf), institutions (as Concertgebouw) and historical persons (as a designer Benno Premsela) are stored at the Stadsarchief. The archive has also a rich collection of drawings and maps of Amsterdam from 17th and 18th century as well as historical photographs and films since the beginnings of these mediums. For the visitor, the Stadsarchief mean not only possibilities of researching Amsterdam history. The archives aims at the large public – they organize exhibitions, tours of the their collection, projections of the archival films.
