== What Is in the Collection?  ==
The collection consists of church records and other miscellaneous records including marines, emigration, notorial, and tax records from Stein am Rhein, Schaffhausen, Switzerland. It also includes church records for the neighboring village of Burg. Stein am Rhein has its roots as medieval city on the modern border between Germany and Switzerland on the Rhein River.

Today, it has one of the best preserved medieval city centers in Europe.
