The purpose of the Amsterdam Historical Museum is to conserve, preserve, selectively expand and display and present the historical collection of the city of Amsterdam for as broad a public as possible.
The website 'The Memory of East Amsterdam' was initiated by the Amsterdam Historical Museum for the exhibition‘ "East. a neighbhourhood in Amsterdam’ that was on show between 10 October 2003 and 29 February 2004.
A large group of volunteers keeps the website up-to-date under the coordination of the Amsterdam Historical Museum and co-initiators Buurtoline and Christina Mercken.
