              <p xml:lang="eng"><![CDATA[On 20 September 1977, the Archive and Museum of Flemish life in Brussels vzw (AMVB) was founded. The chairman of the AMVB was Walther Joye and Dis Verstraete was managing director. The AMVB was founded as a community archive with the goal to support the Dutch-speaking heritage community and to raise awareness of this community's social relevance. From the outset, the AMVB set itself the goal of acquiring, studying and exhibiting all expressions of and witnesses to the Dutch-speaking character of Brussels throughout the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries.

              <p xml:lang="eng"><![CDATA[The AMVB preserves the heritage of Dutch-speaking Brussels organisations and associations and of prominent Brussels residents. The collection consists of archives, books, magazines, objects, documentation and oral sources. Together they paint a picture of the Flemish presence in Brussels from different angles throughout the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries. 

The archives are the core of the AMVB's collection. These documents bear witness to the countless activities of their creators: Dutch-language associations, organisations and individuals in Brussels. 

In addition to archives, there are a few other types of documentary collections. These collections of information were artificially compiled can be classified in all kinds of ways. We call this documentation, which in practice usually consists of clippings, brochures and individual documents. The AMVB thus preserves, among other things, documentation about elections, the World Exhibition, theater, music scores and maps and plans.
