The article wants to show the connection between the enriched personal papers of Emil von Behring (1854-1917) in the Behring archives in Marburg (established in 1927) and the history of the first biography of the scientist, which was published by Heinz Zeiss and Richard Bieling during Nazi era in 1940. One focus is placed on Behring's widow Else von Behring (1876-1936), who was active in arranging Behring's papers in proper order and in searching a biographer of her husband's life. The paper also presents new discoveries from the Behring Works archives in Marburg which show Behring--founder of the serum therapy and first winner of the Nobel Prize for medicine in 1901--as an entrepreneur who was fighting for control and influence in the field of science and of business: maybe another narration of Behring's life.

The management and maintenance of paper-based patient record archives involve high running costs. Therefore, many health care providers choose to digitize their paper records subsequently destroying the originals. By now, this is an established procedure for patient records from routine care. However, at present it is unclear under which circumstances the patient records of patients taking part in clinical trials can be destroyed after digitization. Paper-based original records may only be destroyed if their digital copies are recognized as source documents by both sponsors and authorities. The authors believe that this recognition should be possible, as long as the scanned paper-based records fulfill the requirements for certified copies according to the Note for Guidance CPMP/ICH/135/95 (ICH-GCP). This requires that, based on the applied rules, it can be proven at any time that the existing digitization process is clearly regulated, and the resulting quality is regularly controlled and sufficiently high. The objective of this key issues paper is to present the manner in which the existing regulatory guidelines can be implemented to allow the digitized patient records being recognized as source documents. An English version of this article will be published in “Clinical Investigation” (Future Science) [1]. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The cooperation between archives and libraries with regard to the cataloguing of autographs and papers has changed dramatically over the course of the last twenty years, mainly due to the use of electronic media. By now there are online data banks which contain information on the autograph and paper collections of the Federal Archives Koblenz and the Berlin State Library. Traditionally, there has been a gap in Germany between archives and libraries in this vital field. It is the task for the future to overcome this gap once and for all. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper presents a short biography of Jan Patočka, as well as biographical data of the author in connection to the life and work of Jan Patočka. The paper describes Patočka's academic activity at Charles University between 1968 and 1972, how he continued by giving private underground seminars in the dark years of 1972 to 1976, and how his engagement culminated in the dissident movement Charter 77. The author explains how the unofficial underground Patočka Archive was established on the very day of Patočka's death, even before the terrible events around his funeral. Before the official Patočka Archive was founded on the 1st of January, 1990, many volumes of his works were edited secretly during the period of 1977 to 1989. This made it possible to continue successfully publishing the series of the Complete Works of Jan Patočka after 1990. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Corporate museums make important contributions to science history and daily life. They are an essential part of the historical marketing of organizations, including scientific associations. The museum for the history of urology organized and housed by the German Society of Urology (DGU) can be compared to a corporate museum, because the institution serves two purposes: it represents the society to a wider public and it helps to reconstruct and analyze the history of urology and the history of the society. In a close collaboration with medical historians from all over the world the museum serves as a research institution for the history of urology. The institution is founded at the frontier between a commercial corporate museum similar to that of international companies and a classical scientific museum. The paper describes these aspects of the museum and discusses the inherent value of a museum for a scientific association.

The paper attempts to reconstruct the writing of published case histories. Due to the establishment of a scientific classification system in psychiatry there were at the Charité several changes from the late 1870s onwards: (1) Not only was the documentation in the clinical records altered significantly, but also (2) the archive was reorganized into a double filing system and (3) the casuistic made a development from describing seldom or sensational cases into a mode which aimed to unfold psychiatric theory through 'typical cases'. Original medical records, the internal documentation of psychiatric observation, will be compared to their published version. Both, the narrative of a case study and the documentation in the clinical records reveal performative processes of observation and documentation.

This article presents the first results of the author's research on the history of the scholarly group Poetik und Hermeneutik. This research mainly explores the relevant papers belonging to the former members of this group at the Deutsche Literaturarchiv Marbach. These investigations produced rich materials, which will be the basis for further questions to be developed during the second phase of the project. Within the focus for the author's future work are the established forms of external representation in which interdisciplinary cooperation in the humanities take place and the changing theoretical relationship between the philosophy of history and anthropology.

Today the Freud Archives, held by the Library of Congress (Washington), are the largest collection of documents pertaining to the life and work of Sigmund Freud. Their foundation and development were essentially due to the initiative and the passionate labor of K. R. Eissler who operated in close coordination with Anna Freud. Based on the correspondence between Eissler and A. Freud, the paper highlights the first five years of this achievement und discusses the policy of the Archives which has been the subject of some controversy in recent decades. Eissler's Progress Report covering the years 1951-1969 is reproduced in an appendix.

Eugen Bormann, Professor of Ancient History and Epigraphy at the University of Vienna from 1885 to 1914, left a great scientific legacy after his demise. Because of the private correspondence of his widow Auguste with her daughter Emma, we know details about the sale of this legacy. The legacy was bought by the textile industrialist Hugo Ritter Grab von Hermannswörth, who donated it to the German University in Prague. Some of this legacy has not yet been found. But what we have in abundance is Bormann's correspondence in the archives of Charles University in Prague. This article will not only trace the story of the sale of the 'Bormann papers', it will also cast light on a few selected bundles, e.g. gifts for Bormanns 70th birthday, school certificates, letters from Otto Benndorf, Alexander Conze, Michael Rostovtzeff, or Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach. This will show what tremendous treasure slumbers for the biographical research on Eugen Bormann in the Prague archive. The author's goal is to lift this treasure in the next few years.

ABSTRACT: This paper, founded on the premises of a postcolonial approach, sets out to question the fictionalisation of Laghouat genocide through the reinvestment and textualisation of archives and their simulation in the plot of Lazhari Labter's novel released in 2018: Laghouat. La ville assassinée ou le point de vue de Fromentin. The analysis of the corpus selected for investigation confirmed that the genocide revisited through the reinvestment of archives attests to memory work which appears to be a restorative process from a personal point of view ; useful for posterity. Subsequently, it is a process through which the figure of the writer emerges, whose role is now fully assumed. RÉSUMÉ : Cet article, basé sur une approche postcoloniale, se propose d’interroger la mise en fiction du génocide de Laghouat à travers le réinvestissement et la mise en texte des archives et leur simulation dans l’intrigue du roman de Lazhari Labter publié en 2018 : Laghouat. La ville assassinée ou le point de vue de Fromentin. L’analyse de ce corpus confirme que le génocide revisité à travers le réinvestissement des archives atteste d’un travail de mémoire comme processus réparateur d’un point de vue personnel et utile pour la postérité. Une démarche à travers laquelle émerge la figure de l’écrivain dont le rôle est désormais pleinement assumé.

The aim of this paper is to present archival discoveries made, among others, by the author in the Archives of the Metropolitan Curia in Cracow. The discoveries concern the manuscript of Karol Wojtyła, and are connected to his work on the postdoctoral thesis. This discovery was also presented in the context of its possible influence on the study of Wojtyła’s philosophy, based on Etienne Gilson’s conception of the method of studying the history of philosophy (the necessity of considering the whole of thought in the context of its individual elements, the context of impersonal necessity, etc.).

The present contribution offers a first philological description of Durs Grünbein's 'Vorlass' at the German Literature Archive in Marbach, and examines in particular the palimpsest-like modus operandi of the poet, which aims at documenting every step in the genesis of his texts. Moving from the analysis of different papers from the time before and after Grünbein's literary consecration, the article poses the question of the author's consciousness about his future literary estate ('Nachlassbewusstsein'). Special attention is thereby given to the self-archiving strategies he deploys as well as to the interpretational hints he seems to disseminate in his documents for later philology. Furthermore, the fact that as yet unpublished texts can be found in the 'Vorlässe' of contemporary writers encourages philologists to conceive of the literary estate more widely as a place where not only the past and posthumous, but also the current and anthumous dwell.

Angesichts des rasanten Wachstums seiner Bestände und Magazinstandorte sowie zunehmender technischer Möglichkeiten konzentriert sich das Bundesarchiv stärker denn je auf zeitgemäße massentaugliche Lösungen der Bestandserhaltung. Das Anfang 2022 veröffentlichte neue Bestandserhaltungskonzept erläutert die Grundsätze. Im Sinne einer umfassenden Bestandserhaltung auf der Basis internationaler fachwissenschaftlicher Erkenntnisse verbindet das Bundesarchiv in großem Maßstab Lagerungsthemen einschließlich Bauplanungen mit der Mitgestaltung einschlägiger, auch internationaler, Normen, mit Risikomanagement, dem Vorantreiben der weiteren Professionalisierung in der Restaurierung und dem Ausbau der Digitalisierung. The German Federal Archives increasingly focuses on mass-scale contemporary solutions for preservation. This is due to the recent extraordinary growth of its collections and number of storage sites as well as technological innovation. Published at the beginning of 2022, the new preservation concept is based on international research results. Consequently, the concept combines aspects of storage, including building design and risk management, the promotion of further increase in professionalism of restoration and mass-scale digitisation, as well as contribution to relevant norms.

Social research, qualitative and quantitative, has long been the preferred means of selfobservation in industrial societies. The social science data generated in the process are therefore rewarding sources for many fields of contemporary history. A large-scale integration of both quantitative and qualitative social science data into the contemporary historian's practice will aid a fuller reconstruction of the agency of ordinary people and the relations between the social sciences, society, and politics of the past. This article addresses the challenges facing historians re-using social science data. It gives examples of relevant archives and research projects, discussing the historian's method and practice and the ethical, legal, archival and metadata problems awaiting resolution.
