- Archival history:
- The collection represents the small remnants or newly added pieces of the collection of cartularies and registers, which were largely burned in 1943. The once important archive collection of cartularies, like the collection of manuscripts, was destroyed in World War II. Since then the collection has been complemented to a small extent with transfers from correspondence archives, new acquisitions and isolated third-party records.
