7.-8.12.2022: Guidelines for National Uniform Archiving of Geobase Data

Review of the meeting of the joint working group of survey and archive administrations of the Federal and Länder. Official geobase data describe the earth's surface and its structure and serve as a basis for numerous specialist applications. They are of enormous and lasting importance for the administration itself, for science and research, but also for the individual interests of many citizens. For the long-term archiving and long-term readability of these data, new guidelines have been drawn up over the past three years by a joint working group of surveying and archive administrations of the Federal and Länder. These Guidelines for the nationwide uniform archiving of geobase data were presented at a scientific meeting on 7/8.12.2022, discussing requirements and requirements of science in the context of a national research data infrastructure (NFDI). The lectures were of great interest in science, administration and libraries and archives and showed possibilities and deside rate of long-term archiving and reusability of geobase data.

29.09.2022: Intelligent Processes & AI in Museum and Archive

EDV-Tage 2022 took place on Thursday, 29.9.2022, on the subject of »Intelligent Processes & AI in Museum and Archive« in hybrid format as a presence conference in Regensburg and live stream. How can artificial intelligence (AI) help shape the future of museum and archive? The discovery, preservation and exploration of cultural goods is linked to the processing and linking of complex data systems. Intelligent processes and AI therefore have high potential for use in museums and archives and are to be called key technologies. In the EDV days 2022, we illuminate the various possibilities of use: from the networking of mass data and the formation of knowledge clusters, through tools for text and speech recognition to practical application, for example in the field of art-robing. EDV days will be shortened this year on 29th. September 2022 from 9.30 a.m. to 17.00 p.m. at the Museum of Bavarian History in Regensburg. The event is transmitted in parallel via "livestreaming".

24.-25.03.2023: Total digital! Challenges and Strategies for Archive Practice

12. Bavarian Archive Day from 24 to 25 March 2023 in Passau with the award “The Bavarian Janus 2023”. Digitization changes our vitality in a fundamental way. Work and business processes, but also private contacts are hardly conceivable without the help of computers, smart phones and network access. Statements such as “the data must run, not the citizens” also place the expectation horizon for public institutions. Archives are twice affected by this change. On the one hand, they are self-sufficient to reconfigure their business processes and services to the electronic mode of operation. On the other hand, it is the task of the archives to take over digital documents from all institutions and departments for which they are responsible. For archives, this represents a huge balancing act, because it has to do with a variety of electronic procedures and with different data formats, on which they often have little influence. The Bayerische Archivtag will show that the information technology in the archive has long since touched on all tasks. IT specialist applications play an indispensable role from cooperation with the donors and the acquisition of the archived goods, its development and access to permanent archiving. But where does this path lead? What does the change mean for the functioning of the archives? What impact does he have on the self-understanding of archives and on their social role? What are the expectations of the archives? Questions like this are already addressed by Prof. Dr. Malte Rehbein (University of Passau), whose topic is: “Archive and Democracy: About Research in the Digital Transformation”. Beyond the working sessions, the Bayerische Archivtag serves the meeting and exchange. The employees of the Adels- und Privatarchive, the municipal archives, the church archives, the archives at universities and scientific institutions as well as the municipal archive maintainers meet for joint meetings on the day before. On the evening of March 24th, the President of Lower Bavaria, Mr Rainer Haselbeck, will give the “Bayerische Janus 2023” in the Passau Town Hall. The winner is Helmut Käs, Head of the BMW Group Classic, who is responsible for the company archive of the Bayerische Motorenwerke. The award recognises the exemplary services in building and setting up the corporate archive. Modern and comfortable user services and a wide-ranging public relations work characterize the company archive. This plays an equally important role in the memory work of the BMW Group, whose focus is also on the shadow sides of the company's history, in particular the employment of forced laborers in the NS period. The prize, a bronze sculpture that refers to the double-headed Roman god Janus and thus symbolizes the median position of the archives between past and future, has been created by the artist Leopold W. Hafner from Aicha in front of the forest.

23.06.2021: BKM Support lines for the preservation of written cultural goods: Practical questions of the CEC application

On 23. In June 2021, an online workshop was held by the Directorate-General of the State Archives of Bavaria and the coordinating body for the preservation of the written cultural property (KEK). For ten years, the Federal Ministry of Culture (BKM) has been supporting the original preservation in Germany (https://www.kek-spk.de/start. In the special programme of KEK, conservation measures such as mass depletion, dry cleaning, packaging, restoration and development of concepts and methods (e.g. damage detection) are promoted. The CEC's budgetary approach for funding in 2021 (end of application phase: 31.1.2021) amounts to 3.5 million euros. For Bavarian archives, the Directorate-General of the Bavarian State Archives is the central professional body for the coordination of applications. All Bavarian archives – regardless of the institution – are advised in the submission of applications, the applications are coordinated in terms of content and subject matter, and are passed on to the Bavarian State Ministry for Science and Art for counter-drawing. The application is forwarded to the CEC by the Ministry. Applications may also be made for the coming year 2022 by the end of January 2022. In order not to get into time difficulties, the preparation of the application should be started in autumn 2021 at the latest. In order to comply with the deadlines, the Directorate-General shall require applications up to 10.12.2021. In order to facilitate the preparation of applications, an online workshop of the Directorate-General for State Archives of Bavaria was held on 23.6.2021 in cooperation with the CEC. The workshop was very well attended with a total of 62 participants. After an introductory lecture by Dr. Ursula Hartwieg on the tasks of KEK and the two possible funding lines, Dr. Laura Scherr explained the course of the application in Bavaria. In three practical reports, various ongoing or already completed projects from municipal and church archives were presented. Matthias Haupt, Stadtarchivar von Wasserburg, recounted the model and special projects carried out in the municipal archives since 2011. The very structured and planned procedure in the Stadtarchiv Wasserburg – installation of a damage disaster, cleaning and restoration of the usability of archivia of the Old Archive of the City of Wasserburg on the basis of the catastrophe, packaging and conservation of the photo collection – enabled participants, in addition to important insights into project management, a compressed journey through methods of archival conservation. Johannes Untermarzoner, responsible for the archive and library of the Archdiocese of Munich and Freising, reported on the projects carried out in archive and library. In addition to dry cleaning and packaging, the ore diocese also focuses on the planned installation of a damage disaster for targeted processing and planning of necessary conservation measures. Stephanie Goethals from the Aschaffenburg City and Stiftsarchiv finally gave a look at a direct object-related procedure which would like to plan for smaller archives that are targeted without the installation of a damage disaster conservation project. Among the 35 KEK model projects 2021 is also a project of the state archives of Bavaria: "Schadensprevention at the desk -Conservation boxes for everyday use with archived goods" KEK-Pressemitteilung 2021 - Overview of projects More about CEC, emergency care and conservation can be found on our site Maintenance.

17.09.2020: Computer tags digital on 17. September 2020

Digitization is omnipresent – especially in the cultural sector. At the EDV-Tags 2020, we want to deal with issues of digitalization of analogue cultural goods that affect museums and archives alike. Where are we? What strategies are we going to do? How to organize a digitalization project? What standards should be respected? How to protect the valuable objects from damage during digitization? And what does practice look like? EDV days will be shortened this year on 17. September from 9.30 am to 16.00 pm via “Livestreaming” from the Haus der Bayerischen Geschichte – Museum in Regensburg. Due to the ongoing risk situation caused by the coronavirus, the planned presentations on the topic “Digitalization of Cultural Goods” and a practical view are offered exclusively digitally. Questions to the speakers are possible via the hashtag #edvtagedigital on Twitter, by comment directly on YouTube or by email. If you wish to receive a reminder by e-mail before the event along with the direct link to live streaming, you can contact the website of the conference www.edvtage.de Register. Otherwise, the stream can also be tracked spontaneously directly via the website or various social media platforms.

28.11.2019: Archive in the Old Reich as instruments of domination

Publication of the Lectures on the 2nd Archive Science Special Discussion of the Bavarian State Archives on 28 November 2019 in Munich in AZ 98/2022. Archives were not always open sites of research. In the times of the old empire before 1800, and still in part beyond, they were rather considered as places that were subject to access restrictions. The documents, official books and files stored in them secured legal and domination titles and documented processes from the innermost circle of the rulers. In times when the social order was based on privileges and property titles, archives were therefore regarded as treasury chambers and rulers. The talks on "Archive in the Old Reich as instruments of rule" are published in the Archival magazine 98 (2022). Publication series Archival Journal >>>.
