The State Archives online archives, which include civil status and church registers that are older than 100 years, can be accessed for free as well. For other fees that may apply, please see: http://www.arch.be/docs/tarifs.pdf The State Archives are committed to ensuring access to its reading rooms and other common areas for all users.

A pedestrian ramp, located on the side of the building at Avenue Léo Collard, leads to the main entrance door of the State Archives in Mons.
