The Museum holds and administers a number of important archives which include the Historical Archive of the Town of Badalona, the Visual Archives, with more than a million photographs, and the Josep Maria Cuyàs i Tolosa Archive, a collection gathered by the man after whom the archive was given its name, a local historian and first administrator of the museum.
