Advanced Search


Are you looking for a person or an organisation? Then it's best to search both the archive holdings and in people and organisations (not included in the advanced search). We generally catalogue our holdings in the original language; searching in several languages might be useful. To order files for consultation, add the desired dossiers to your basket by clicking on the plus icon. The basket icon will take you to the order page where you can enter your further details and send the order.

In collaboration with the Archives Contestataires, we compiled an overview of archival holdings regarding women’s history in the French-speaking part of Switzerland: Fonds sur l’histoire des femmes en Suisse romande 2024 (PDF, f).

It may also be worth searching in Archives Online (this catalogue includes numerous archives in Switzerland) or in the European meta-catalogue Archives Portal Europe.
