A municipal archive is first mentioned in Munich in 1520 in the official area of the city chamber. At that time, all deeds and documents of legal relevance to the city were stored in the City Chamber rooms at the City Hall.
As the memory of the city of Mainz, the city archive secures and indexes all important documents on the history of Mainz. From medieval parchment documents to digital data carriers, the archive preserves the entire range of historical sources.
