Abstract

In the Netherlands a process is under way that will change the archival network thoroughly and strengthen the regional element in archives management. The state archives in the provinces will combine with the municipal archives of the provincial capitals to form new so called Regional Historical Centres. These new archival agencies, which will operate independently of the State Archival Service in The Hague, are expected to be better equipped than the existing ones to serve the public in a client-oriented and cost-effective way and to meet the technical demands of the information society. The paper gives an brief general survey of the situation and pays special attention to that in the province of Groningen, where state and municipal archives share a new accomodation and where a successful attempt has been made to integrate the public services of both institutions even before the process towards an official fusion started.
