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).

20. July 2023: Bayern4NFDI - Up and extension of the National Research Data Infrastructure in Bavaria

Networking meetings of the institutions involved in the NFDI in Bavaria. Many institutions participate in the development and development of the National Research Data Infrastructure (NFDI). The chairs, research and infrastructure institutions involved have so far hardly cross-linked beyond their own consortia. A first start-up and networking meeting of the Bavarian participants at the NFDI should help. The Directorate-General of the State Archives of Bavaria, which is involved in several consortia, has adopted the 20th July 2023 invited to a network meeting of the actors involved in the NFDI. Contacts have been made, joint challenges in research data management such as long-term storage and long-term archiving have been discussed on the basis of concrete projects and joint project ideas across consortia have been designed for possible synergies. We would like to give you an opportunity in a project pitch to present your pioneering project for sustainable research data management.

Tag der Provenienzforschung am 14.4.2021 rein virtuell statt. Der Forschungsverbund Provenienzforschung Bayern (FPB), zu dessen Gründungsmitgliedern die Generaldirektion der Staatlichen Archive Bayerns gehört, beteiligte sich mit einem reichhaltigen ganztägigen Veranstaltungsprogramm. Den Auftakt machten in der Vormittagssektion die Staatlichen Archive Bayerns mit vier Vorträgen zu den Quellen, die Provenienzforscher*innen in den acht Staatsarchiven und dem Bayerischen Hauptstaatsarchiv zur Verfügung stehen. Nach einer allgemeinen Vorstellung des Forschungsverbundes durch Dr. Johannes Gramlich (Bayerische Staatsgemäldesammlungen), übernahm Dr. Julian Holzapfl (Staatsarchiv München) die Moderation. Er erklärte zunächst allgemein Funktion und Aufbau der staatlichen Archive und führte dann in seinem Vortrag „Provenienzrecherche am Staatsarchiv München – Bestände, Suchstrategien und Service“ in die im Staatsarchiv München verfügbaren Quellen ein.

Den Vortragsreigen beendete Gerhard Fürmetz (Bayerisches Hauptstaatsarchiv) mit seinen Ausführungen zu „Jüdische Standesregister aus Bayern – Überlieferung, Digitalisierung, Quellenwert“. Das Nachmittagsprogramm bestritten die im Forschungsverbund Provenienzforschung vertretenen Museen und Sammlungen sowie das Zentralinstitut für Kunstgeschichte.

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.

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.

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".
