What is an archive?


A Archive is a building.
Or a big room.

In an archive you lift things up.
Especially important papers.
For example:
-
Letters
-
Certificates
-
Contracts
-
Maps
But also important photos.
And important films.
You want these things
keep forever.

That's why you look good at her:
The archives have
a Alarm system.
And thick doors.
So there is No Breaker.

The archives also have
a Climate system.
So it is in the rooms of the archive
not too wet.
And it molds nothing.
This keeps everything well.

What things are important?
Some things interest researchers and researchers.
With some things you can
better understand the story.
And the important event remember.
Some things need
Judge or judge.
That's why all these things are important.
With some papers you can prove:
This property belongs to me.
Or this house belongs to me.
Some things are particularly important.
For example, Papers from a state.
Or from an authority and courts.

The papers from the Free State of Bavaria
are in state archives.
