- Archival history:
- The collections of this archive came into the possession of the State Archive at different times.
- Administrative/biographical history:
- The State Archive of Bern is the repository of all state archival holdings worthy of preservation. Since the 15th century, the Bernese archives have been housed in the vaults of the town hall. In 1713 a permanent archive commission was set up. The archives of the perished city and Republic of Bern went to the newly created Canton of Bern in 1803, and partly to the Cantons of Aargau and Vaud. Until 1891, the administration of the National Archive was the responsibility of the respective state scribe.
