a home for expatriate life stories

Welcome to the Expatriate Archive Centre - a repository of expatriate life stories. Located in The Hague, the Netherlands, we collect and preserve the life stories of expatriates worldwide for future research. We welcome contributions from expatriates and their families from any country and in any language. As a unique resource on global migration history, our archives offer invaluable insights into the experiences of expatriates living temporarily outside their home countries.
