gahetNa: searching further at the Nationaal Archief

If you know gahetNa as a gateway to archive material, you will now end up at the Nationaal Archief. This is not a separate museum with its own visiting address. Digital collections, research and exhibitions each call for different preparation.

Plan your visit ↗

From search term to document

Searching online helps you decide which material fits your subject. A surname, place or event can be a starting point, but a description you find is not yet a full explanation of the document.

Research on site

To use the reading room, you book in advance. Note the details of the items you want to consult and check the conditions; access to an exhibition does not automatically give access to every archive document.

Visiting an exhibition

At the Prins Willem-Alexanderhof you can also visit the exhibition programme. Check its specific opening times, as public activities and the reading room need not follow the same schedule.

Before you go

Check whether you are visiting an exhibition or the reading room. For a weekend visit, ask explicitly about the exhibition; the regular research hours offer no certainty about it.

This information has been compiled from public sources. Not everything has been confirmed by the museum itself; please check opening hours and prices on the museum's website.
