Archive plan search

Archive plan search

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.

For selected collections (law collection, minutes of the cantonal council, resolutions of the governmental council, maps and plans, collection of objects, 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 also available.
