What is DrentsArchiefNet

A lot of people do not know how to find various archives, or what information is held in those archives. The DrentsArchiefNet aims to help these people by presenting information about Drenthe’s archives in a simple form on the Internet. We hope that this website will show you the way round the Drenthe archives and stimulate you to visit them.

The DrentsArchiefNet is a combined project of the Province of Drenthe (Provincie), most Water Councils (Waterschappen), most municipalities (Gemeenten) and the State Archives (Drents Archief) in Drenthe. In case you want to know more about this site, please contact the Provincial inspectorate on records and archives (+31592-365237). You may send an email by using the button Gastenboek.

What information can be found on the DrentsArchiefNet

The website aims to give the titles (titels) and inventories (inventarissen) of all archives. An inventory will show you which archives you will be able to see or ask questions about. To actually see the archives, you will still have to visit the organisation where it is kept. This is why the site also gives you addresses (adressen), names of people to contact (contactpersonen) and opening hours (openingstijden) of the various organisations.

During your visit to our site, you may find that not all the inventories have yet been entered.
