NRW State Archive Department Westphalia (NRW Landesarchiv Münster) (Germany)

The Westphalia Department in Münster stores the documents of 12 centuries of Westphalian history, making it a central point of contact for anyone conducting historical research and also for citizens with an interest in the region. The material from the former State Archives of Münster includes extensive records of both secular and ecclesiastical territories, as well as the dissolved monasteries and convents of the former Prussian province of Westphalia before 1815.
