- Archival history:
- The Administration‘s collection was probably gradually transferred to the State Archive.
- Administrative/biographical history:
-
Most Swiss cantons are divided into districts with corresponding administrative units. The canton of Aargau is divided into eleven districts.
After the foundation of the Canton of Aargau in 1803, the Registrar of the State Chancellery in Aarau was responsible for organising and archiving the files produced by the new legislative and executive authorities. In the early years, these were housed in one of the lower rooms of the old town hall, which had been made available to the cantonal government by the Helvetic authorities. In the 1820s the archive moved to the new government building in the front suburb. In 1959, the State Archive and the Cantonal Library moved into a new building designed especially for them. The organisational separation of the two institutions in 1967 was also spatially completed in 1998 when the State Archive moved to the new Buchenhof administration building. The move to the new building brought about a marked improvement in internal operational processes. The archive users have a modern and purpose-oriented working environment in the Buchenhof.
