Project description

The paper history holdings and collections in the Archives will be successively catalogued in this project, with the cataloguing of the Hübel collection of decorated paper, the photo collection and the holdings of trade literature of the Forschungsstelle Papiergeschichte (FPG) already completed.

In addition, the about 15,000 sheets of the Hübel collection of decorated paper have already been completely digitised.

The aim of the project as a whole is to provide online finding aids for all paper history holdings and collections and to present digitised copies of selected holdings on the “Deutsches Museum Digital” website.
