- Archival history:
- The "small acquisitions" constitute a collection of a small number of personal papers which were transferred to the main state archive. In terms of content, this mixed collection consists of documents and files, their copies or extracts (some of the files had already been located in the Hannover State Archives before its destruction in 1943) relating to the family, court, local and state history. The collection is therefore of particular interest to those who are looking for complementary material on local and family history.
