Documentatiecentrum Fijnaart en Heijningen: researching the local past

The Documentatiecentrum of the local history society in Heijningen holds photographs, books and genealogical material about Fijnaart and Heijningen. A specific question makes a visit to this research venue all the more useful.

Plan your visit ↗

Searching for an image or a name

Photographs and family trees offer different ways into local history. Bring as many leads as possible, such as a name, a street or a likely period. That way you can ask more specifically what material is available and how you can consult it.

Adding the Watersnoodwoning

The centre is next to the Swedish Watersnoodwoning (flood disaster house). It offers a different visitor experience from consulting documentation. Discuss a combination in advance, especially if you want to take more time or have specific accessibility requirements.

Short open afternoons

The regular opening is on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons. Other times or an extra Saturday may also be announced. If in doubt, have the current opening confirmed; for groups and appointments outside the regular hours, direct contact is needed.

Before you go

Check the centre and the Watersnoodwoning separately if you want to visit both; the house has limited accessibility.
