25. In April 2022, Dr. Bernhard Grau, Director of the Main State Archives and Dr. Norbert Schäffer, Chairman of the Bavarian Association for Bird Protection (LBV), signed an archiving agreement. The agreement regulates the future transfer of the LBV association to the Bayerische Hauptstaatsarchiv. The Landesbund für Vogelschutz is one of the oldest and most important environmental associations in Bavaria. His tradition dates back to the founding year 1909. The new acquisition focus of the Bavarian Main State Archives includes sources from the field of natural, environmental and climate protection as well as civic engagement. The state archives of Bavaria also take over non-governmental and private archives and collections. The written transmission of the Landesbund für Vogelschutz substantially complements the stocks already stored in the Bayerische Hauptstaatsarchiv for environmental and climate protection. The largest group of private traditions form the estates of important personalities: Prof. Dr. Hubert Weiger (born in 1947), forest scientist, long-term chairman and current honorary chairman of BUND Naturschutz in Bayern e.V., BUND and member of the Coal Commission of the Federal Government and many other bodies. He will be present at the signing of the agreement.

21.04.2022: Olympic posters from the poster collection of the Bavarian Main State Archive available online
Itotal of 90 posters for Olympic Games from 1964 to 1972 are over finder database of the Bavarian State Archives available online. These include four recently acquired event packages of the ecclesiastical services among the Olympic summer games in Munich. The concept of “Heitere Spiele” included a separate, modern and colored picture language. This idea followed – besides the signs of the sports facilities – public work and advertising material. Especially the posters still provide a good insight into the concept at that time. There are various series at the Olympic posters: posters to Olympic individual disciplines, art posters of renowned artists and advertising posters for the cultural and ecclesiastical accompanying program. For example, the great orchestra and ballet companies of the world appeared during the games in Munich. These official poster series were created on behalf of the International Olympic Committee as organisers, which also manages the rights of use. A few additional posters refer to other accompanying events such as an exhibition by the Bavarian National Museum. The poster collection of the Bavarian Main State Archive contains over 50,000 posters. In addition to cultural and advertising posters, political posters dominate with a focus on the first half of the 20. Century. You can find the poster collection HIER>>.

A BlogSlam introduces all archive divisions into the rich fundus of original cultural goods. A BlogSlam is a temporary blog action with limited participants. The model is Poetry Slams and Science Slams. The term normally refers to a lecture contest.
