- Scope and content:
- The collection contains the written material of the Delegate for Refugees and the Federal Office for Refugees from 1985 to 1997 and includes several files of interest. One of them is a file on Hungarian Jews who had to flee Hungary between 1957 and 1973. Another file deals with the Home de la Foret in Morgins, which in 1961 took in Moroccan children of Muslim and Jewish descent. There is also a file on Jews in the Soviet Union between 1973 and 1993 and a file on the fate of Jews in Turkey from 1970/1971.

- Archival history:
- The documents of the Delegate for Refugees and the Federal Office for Refugees are probably gradually transferred to the Federal Archive.
- Administrative/biographical history:
- The Swiss Federal Archive in Bern has the statutory task of safeguarding, indexing, making available and evaluating archival documents of the Swiss Federal Assembly, the Federal Council, the Federal Administration and Swiss representations abroad. In accordance with the Federal Law on Archiving, it thus contributes to legal certainty, continuous and rational administrative management and makes government action comprehensible. The oldest holdings of the archive go back to the Central Archive of the Helvetic Republic, which was founded on 18 December 1798.
