Transfer of Resistance archives from CegeSoma to the Cuvelier repository (AGR2)
CegeSoma has transferred a collection of archives on the Resistance from Aviation Square to the Cuvelier repository (ARA2), located at 26-28 Rue du Houblon, 1000 Brussels. These archives now join the other CegeSoma archive collections. This transfer concerns (parts of) the collections created by the Witte Brigade, Les Affranchis, Service D, the Union nationale de la presse clandestine, Les Insoumis, l'Organisation militaire belge de Résistance, and the Mouvement national royaliste. These archives are now available for consultation.
They were kept at CegeSoma (Aviation Square) during the data encoding process for Resistance in Belgium, the national database dedicated to the Resistance in Belgium.
The vast majority of CegeSoma's archives can now be consulted in the reading room of the Cuvelier repository. Due to high demand, we recommend that you make your reservation several weeks in advance.
The following archives remain available for consultation at CegeSoma:
- Archives compiled by CegeSoma itself, such as interviews conducted by its own researchers, documents related to investigations carried out by the Center, etc.
- Files on agents of the Intelligence and Action Services (SRA = AA1333)
To consult these archives at CegeSoma, you must always reserve a place at least 6 days before your visit to our reading room Aviation Square de l'Aviation, 29, 1070 Anderlecht, using the online calendar. You choose a date via this system and will then receive an automatic confirmation email.
