Welcome to the Gelders Archief! We manage hundreds of archives from and about the province of Gelderland. Our collection consists of more than 38 kilometres of archival material, over 18 million genealogical records and over 300.000 photos, drawings, prints and maps.

Our historical records and our search engine are only available in Dutch. But here we have some information and tips on how to find your way around our website and how to find help with your research.

Online research

Genealogy
Use ‘Personen zoeken’ to search in the database with genealogical resources from the province of Gelderland. This includes civil registration certificates (birth, marriage and death), population registers (inhabitants) and church books (baptisms, marriages and burials). To search through certificates of all Dutch provinces, please go to OpenArch.nl. This website is available in English, French and German.

Images
Use ‘Foto’s en films bekijken’ to search through our image and film collection.

Archives
Use ‘Archieven doorzoeken’ to search through all our archives and collections. In our ‘Achievenoverzicht’ you will find a systematic overview of all the archives and collections at the Gelders Archief.

Scanning on Demand

An increasing number of the Gelders Archief’s records have so far been digitized. We are continuing to put records online through our free Scanning on Demand service.

Please use our Scanning on Demand service by requesting scans of records with the scanning on demand-button (Icon Scanning on Demand ) next to the description of a record:

Request scan

Can't find this scanning on demand-icon? Then the record cannot or may not be scanned.

We try to make the scans available on our website within three weeks of your request. You will receive a confirmation e-mail, and may then view and download the scans from the inventory online.
