+'''What can I find at the National Archives and what can I find elsewhere?'''
+*In the National Archives, you will find the archives of the national government, such as the archives of the ministries and of the Senate and House of Representatives. In addition, the National Archives stores archives that are important to the history of the Netherlands, such as the archives of the VOC and the WIC, but also the archive of the KNVB.
+*Furthermore, the National Archives is the regional archive of the province of South Holland. For example, the court archives of South Holland are located here.
+*Each province in the Netherlands has its own provincial archive: the Regional Historical Centers (RHCs). Here are the archives that are important at a regional level. Think of the archives of the province, the court archives and the archives of the Chamber of Commerce.
+*For local history, you can go to the city and regional archives. Think of the Amsterdam city archive and the Eemland archive. Here, for example, are the archives of the municipal authorities, the notarial archives and the archives of important families from the city or region.<ref>"What can I find at the National Archives and what can I find elsewhere?", Netherlands National Archive, https://www.nationaalarchief.nl/onderzoeken/hoe-doe-ik-onderzoek-in-archieven#collapse-9199, accessed 26 November 2022.</ref>
