George Adalbert von Mülverstedt

George Adalbert von Mülverstedt (4 July 1825, Danzig – 29 September 1914, Magdeburg) was a German archivist and historian.

Beginning in 1844, he studied philology and later law (from 1847) at the University of Königsberg, with his interests eventually turning to genealogy and local history.

From 1858, he served as director of the "Provinzialarchiv" (from 1867 known as "Staatsarchiv") in Magdeburg, a position he maintained until his retirement in 1898.

At Magdeburg he distinguished himself with the compilation and edition of the Regesta Archiepiscopatus Magdeburgensis (being released in 1876, 1881 and 1886).

He was a member of a number of historical societies; in 1865 he co-founded the Vereins für die Geschichte und Alterthumskunde des Herzogthums und Erzstifts Magdeburg (Association for the history and antiquities of the Duchy and Archbishopric of Magdeburg), and from 1880 to 1883 served as vice-chairman of the Historischen Kommission der Provinz Sachsen und für Anhalt (Historical commission for the Province of Saxony and for Anhalt).
