Heritage Centre Zutphen
Welcome at the portal of the Heritage Centre Zutphen. The Heritage Centre represents the four keepers of historical collections of the municipality of Zutphen:
- Archeology
- Monuments
- Museum Zutphen
- Regional Archives of Zutphen (includes the municipalities of Brummen and Lochem)
These four partners are represented by Geke Hop, heritage manager. She and her team hold office in the historical building of the Regional Archives of Zutphen at Spiegelstraat 13 in Zutphen. This portal means to be the online gateway to the municipal heritage in Zutphen and wants to provide you with the opportunity to search all their collections at once.
Collections
Currently, eight collections are presented on this portal, but in time ten collections will be available. Below, you will find an overview of all these collections with a short introduction.

- Library and documentation (Bibliotheek en documentatie)
The municipalities of Brummen, Lochem and Zutphen have gathered a variety of books, magazines and historical notes. The titles can be found in this collection; the material can be consulted at the Regional Archive Zutphen.
- Archaeology (Archeologie)
As an old city, Zutphen has its own department of archaeology. Its findings are preserved and the inventory is being made available on this website.
Zutphen has been a centre of government and legislation for centuries, which has resulted in an impressive collection of charters. Although all of them are presented in this collection, the database is under construction, so information can be limited.
- Archives (Archieven)
The municipality of Zutphen is keeper of not only its own archives, but also those of neighbouring municipalities Brummen and Lochem. The archives of these municipalities are kept in Zutphen. This collection presents you with the inventories of the archives and in some cases, a digital representation.
- Monuments and listed buildings (Monumenten)
The municipality of Zutphen carries responsibility for the historical buildings in Zutphen. Some of them are national monuments, others are municipal monuments. All of them are under supervision of the specialists of the department of monuments at Zutphen. The Monuments and listed buildings collection provides you with a database containing all monuments and listed buildings (national and municipal) in Zutphen and Warnsveld.
- Image and sound (Beeld en geluid)
This collection holds historical images and films of mostly the Museum Zutphen and the Regional Archives Zutphen. Maps, paintings, pictures and postcards; most of them available digitally.
