Government archive
The Zug state archives are the canton's main archive. We ensure that the actions of the government can be traced. In doing so, we make a significant contribution to the rule of law.
Topics
We take over, secure and catalogue documents from the three state authorities and supplement the “cantonal memory” with private archives. We make the archive material accessible to the public.

About us
The Zug State Archives are the central archive of the cantonal authorities, administrative bodies and private third parties that carry out public tasks on behalf of the canton. We help protect legal interests. And we safeguard cultural assets that are as old as about 700 years in Zug's history. In this way, we contribute to legal certainty and enable long-term traceability of government action.
We provide historical information and promote historical research. The State Archives are open to all interested parties within the framework of the legal provisions.
The Archives Act of 29 January 2004 and the Transparency Act of 20 February 2014 form the legal basis of the State Archives.
