Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BEC-BER
BELGIUM .The records are numerous and valuable.
State Records comprise all those of the central governments, 1 the
modern
  kingdom, of the governments preceding it and of the various states such as Brabant,
Flanders
 , Gueldres and Hainault out of which Belgium was formed. They are preserved partly at Brussels as General Records of the Kingdom and partly in provincial repositories. Thus at
Ghent
  are archives of the county of
Flanders
 , at Liege of the principality of that name and of the duchy of Limburg, at
Mons
  of the county of Hainault, at Bruges of the liberty of Bruges and other jurisdictions of eastern Flanders; at Namur, Arlon, Bassett and Tournai are repositories of less importance: at the same time the repository at Brussels contains many records of the same
kind
  as those in the provincial offices and is the
chief
  one of the country; the collection there has been formed from various collections in Belgium combined with records restored by the Austrian government and other acquisitions.
Archives Provinciales, the records of provincial administrations since 1794, are placed in the
chief
  towns of each province: each collection falls into three periods,
French
  (17941814), Dutch (1814183o) and Belgian.
Municipal Archives.The most important are those of Antwerp, Bruges,
Ghent
 , R'Ialines,
Mons
 , Tournai and Ypres.
The best
book
  of general
bibliographical
  reference for Belgian records is Pirenne's Bibliographie de l'histoire de Belgique.
