The museum has very extensive archives, consisting of various collections, all of which have great historical value. Our volunteers are currently working on digitizing and further archiving. We receive help from, among others, the Maritime Museum. The collections provide an overview of the history and heritage of shipbuilding at the time of industrialization in Amsterdam. Ultimately, this information will be made available. If you have any questions about the archive or if you have material that could be interesting to include in the archives, please contact the 'Kromhout archive team' via khm.archief@gmail.com
