The David Tuvyahu Negev Archive documents the history of Be’er Sheva and the Negev across a wide range of subjects from the early twentieth century onward, including settlement, history, education, culture, industry, agriculture, and more. The archive contains documents, photographs, maps, local newspapers, and additional materials.

The archive is composed partly of subject files, but primarily of various collections donated to the archive. These collections have been digitized and recorded in indexes that describe the contents of the files. The indexes provide access to information about the different collections held in the archive prior to their full cataloging on the archive website.

Most of the materials are in Hebrew.
