Cologne recently lost a building where hundreds of different historical archives were located. The building collapse is thought to be due to the building of a tunnel underneath the building. Some of the archives included a 16th century Burgher who had recorded the medications he was on during his marriage, and minutes of recorded material taken from city counsel since 1396. All 65,000 original documents, and 100,000 maps were lost.

This is brutal. You should look into the great flood of the Arno in Florence... that was something as well.
