              <p xml:lang="eng"><![CDATA[The core of the Ghent Archives’ collection consists of the government archive of the City of Ghent from the Middle Ages to today. It includes the Old Archive, which holds documentation dating back to the *Ancien Régime* (until 1795), and the Modern Archive, which covers the French period (1795-1815), the Dutch period (1815-1830) and the Kingdom of Belgium (since 1830). The archives of parishes from the period before the municipality mergers in 1965 and 1977 were largely transferred to the Ghent Archives. Besides the local government archives, the Ghent Archives also preserve private archives of individuals, families, organisations or businesses who have a strong bond with Gent.  

In addition to written records the Ghent Archives also preserve important photographic archives and historical image collections, consisting of photographs, films, postcards, prints, porcelain cards, posters, drawings and paintings.
