Jerusalem's Municipal Archives
The Municipal Archives of Jerusalem were founded in 1965. After long wanderings and sojourns in various buildings, they have finally come safely to port in the new city hall opened in 1993. The importance of Jerusalem in the world geopolitical scene and the spiritual awareness of humanity justifies considerable effort in the area of its documentation, not only as regards the past, but equally with an eye to the future. But before we pass on to our account of Jerusalem's Municipal Archives, we will review briefly a number of theoretical considerations relating to archives in general. Afterwards, we will survey some of the practical aspects of archival work as we describe the collections of the Jerusalem Municipal Archives. Finally, we will see how computerization allows for a more efficient use of the data this institution has gathered.
The Jerusalem Municipal Archives have been basically bound up with the functioning of the city from the founding of the municipality in 1867, to the present day. All the municipal documentation has an official role and a clearly defined legal accountability. In practical terms, the director of the Municipal Archives is also the inspector-general of documentation for all the city's departments.
