Digital reconstruction of the Reykjavík City Archives transferred to the National Archives website

2nd March 2026

As part of the transfer of projects and collections from the Reykjavík City Archives to the National Archives, the website and digital reconstruction of the Reykjavík City Archives have now been moved.

On 1 March, the City Archives website was closed, but all content from the site related to access to the collection and the publication of digital reconstructions has now been transferred to the National Archives’ website and is accessible on heimildir.is as of today.

There will therefore be no interruption to this service for users of the archives, and census records, fire assessments, minutes, the city’s oldest documents, and other popular materials remain accessible online.

Here you can go directly to the website reykjavik.skjalasafn.is.
