History of the Municipal Archive: On 1 April 1900 the magistrate transferred the position of an archivist from Dr. Priesack to Dr. Ferdinand Wagner. In the winter of 1902-3, Wagner's first major act was the move from the Hardenberger Hof to the new townhouse. Here, Wagner devoted himself primarily to the cataloguing of the letter collections and provided for the extension of the archive library. In 1934, Dr. Wilhelm van Kempen became Wagner’s successor, the first archivist to practice this profession on a full-time basis. In 1935, the archive was able to expand its premises by purchasing the building of the fraternity "Saxonia" and in 1936 the archive was relocated to the so-called "Sachsenhaus". Until June 1936, a reorganisation of the archive followed. With few exceptions no more files had been transferred to the archive since 1850. Therefore much had to be made up after the enlargement of the premises. In June 1942 many collections were stored outside the city to protect them from air raids. After the war, the collections were brought back without losses. Volunteers and part-time employees helped with the inventory of the material in the following years. From 1974 to 1996, the archivist and historian Helga-Maria Kühn was head of the Municipal Archive of Göttingen. At the time of writing (2018), the archivist and historian Ernst Böhme heads the Municipal Archive and the Municipal Museum in Göttingen.
