Start with a research question
The OVCG describes archive material that is held at the Groninger Archieven. Before your visit, formulate what you are looking for: a place, period or subject, for example. That way you can ask more specifically for information about consulting the records.
Names and images as sources
The collections described include resistance record cards, wartime photographs and posters. These are different kinds of source. A photograph shows different information from a card with administrative details; keep that distinction in mind as you read.
Check access
Not every archive item is automatically public. Ask about access to the material you need and about how the reading room works. An office address is no confirmation of open, museum-style access.
Before you go
Opening hours as a public museum are unknown. Arrange access to the archives in advance with OVCG or the Groninger Archieven.
