Quick tip – Order records in advance

If you are visiting a Dutch archive in person, please check their website. Often, you can order records in advance. That way, the records will be waiting for you when you arrive, and you can start your research right away.

Some archives provide an order button from the catalog, while others allow you to email a list of the records you want to consult.
