A familiearchief is an archive created by a family. The records in a family archive can relate to personal, business, or government affairs and were often formed by several generations.
Many familiearchieven are still in the possession of the family, while others have been turned over to an archival institution. The website Archieven.nl has finding aids for many familiearchieven that are in public facilities.
