The archive plan search enables you to navigate in the hierarchical tree structure of the archive, from the higher-level fonds to the individual document provided that it has been captured. Many documents are only comprehensible from their classification in the archive plan.
Use the archive plan search to get an overview of the various fonds or to selectively access known fonds.

The metadata and original sources accessible here may contain historical terms that express prejudice, stereotypes or violence against people. It is therefore important to critically question these terms and contextualise them professionally.
For selected collections (maps and plans, collection of items, class photos, patents, annual reports of the University of Zurich, school survey of 1771/1772, reports of the supervisory authority of the Reformed Church community, marriages of the 16th to 18th century), a quick search is available.
Full texts of the collection of laws, official journal, cantonal council minutes and government council resolutions can be found under Zentrale Serien des Kantons Zürich.
The Weisses Register, the historical finding aid for pre-modern records, has been processed using artificial intelligence, as have the Ratsmanuale (council minutes).
