Watch unique film footage of Den Helder throughout the years.

Step inside School 7 and travel back in time. Due to high demand, there is an extra film screening on Thursday, May 7. Previous editions sold out quickly, so don't miss this opportunity.

See the city as you no longer know it

You watch remarkable footage from 1920. Discover vanished streets, squares, and buildings. See how the harbor, sea, and dunes shaped daily life. This is how you experience Den Helder in a completely different way.

Recognize places and stories

The films come from a unique archive of the Helderse Historical Society. Much of the material was once shared by residents. That makes it personal and recognizable. There is a good chance you will see places you know.

Experience an afternoon full of history

The screening lasts approximately 90 minutes. The program consists of excerpts from about twenty films. Tickets are available via the KopGroepBibliotheken website or at the library front desk. Arrive on time and enjoy an afternoon full of memories.
