This exhibition celebrates 100 years of managing the Provincial Atlas of Noord-Holland, showcasing over 82,000 prints, drawings, maps, and photos. It explores the atlas's origins, growth, key pieces, and what it reveals about the province's history, with special attention to the representation of women and ongoing photographic commissions.

Marking a century of stewardship for the Provincial Atlas of Noord-Holland (PANH), this exhibition delves into the rich collection of over 82,000 prints, drawings, maps, and photographs that document the province's history. Visitors will journey from the origins of this unique collection to its present state and future outlook, exploring its depictions of cities, buildings, inhabitants, and everyday life. The exhibition highlights specific themes such as the representation of women within the collection and the insights offered by ongoing photographic commissions that capture the changing landscape and its people. The exhibition aims to answer questions about what constitutes an atlas, how such an extensive collection is formed and sustained, and the significant developments that have shaped it. It showcases top pieces from the collection and discusses what these images reveal about Noord-Holland's past and present. Special focus is given to the research possibilities within the collection, particularly concerning the portrayal of women, and how the annual photo commissions keep the atlas relevant by focusing on contemporary themes.
