Regionaal Archief Alkmaar

Regionaal Archief Alkmaar (RAA) is a joint arrangement that operates within a large region in the province of Noord-Holland. The first purpose of this arrangement is to fulfill the function of a regional knowledge and information center through the acquisition and preservation of a broad collection of historical sources. The second purpose is to make these sources actively available. It does so according to the Dutch Public Records Act (Archiefwet 1995). At the time of writing, the joint arrangement services include 9 municipalities, namely: Alkmaar, Bergen, Castricum, Den Helder, Heiloo, Hollands Kroon, Schagen, Dijk en Waard and Texel. The arrangement also includes other joint arrangements. These are the GGD Hollands Noorden and Veiligheidsregio Noord-Holland Noord. Also, the RAA keeps the archives of the water authority Hoogheemraadschap Hollands Noorderkwartier and its predecessors. This is being done on the basis of a service agreement. Finally many archives of families, persons of interest, companies and non-governmental organizations are being collected and managed. This is a secondary task of the RAA, but these archives are also being managed on the ground of the Dutch Public Records Act.

诺德-荷兰省区域档案馆（RAA）是一项在广泛区域内运行的联合协议。该协议的首要宗旨在于通过收集和保存大量历史资料，发挥区域性知识与信息中心的作用。其次，旨在使这些资料得以积极利用。RAA遵循荷兰公共档案法（1995年《档案法》）实现此目标。截至撰写本文时，联合协议的服务范围覆盖了9个市政区，包括：阿克马、贝根、卡斯图里姆、丹赫尔德、海洛、霍兰德克罗恩、沙根、迪克和瓦尔以及泰塞尔。此外，RAA还参与其他联合协议，如GGD Hollands Noorden和Veiligheidsregio Noord-Holland Noord。同时，RAA负责保管荷兰北高地水管理署及其前身档案，此举基于服务协议。最后，RAA还负责收集和管理众多家族、重要人物、公司及非政府组织的档案。这虽为RAA的次要任务，但这些档案亦依据荷兰公共档案法进行管理。
