The Municipal Archives has a collection of approximately 3,000 books and periodicals on the history of Kerkrade and the surrounding area. All publications can be viewed in the reading room. However, the books and periodicals are not on loan.

The collection is still being added to regularly. The reading room staff will be happy to inform you of the latest acquisitions. To get an impression of the collection, you can call up the title descriptions and select by keyword (author's name, or keyword from the title).
