- Scope and content:
- This collection contains the written material of the Swiss Arts Council Pro Helvetia. In terms of Jewish history, there are some files of interest. The oldest file deals with an exhibition on “Jews in Switzerland“, which was shown in Zurich and Bern in 1982 and 1983. There is also a file on events entitled “What does it mean to be typically Jewish“ and “Antisemitism – or the desire to be mean“, which were shown in Zurich, Bern and Baden in 1997. The collection also includes a file on Jacques Picard's “Switzerland and the Jews 1933-1945“, published in Lausanne in 1998. There is also a copy of the Warsaw journal “Midrasz“ from 2004 about the Jews in Switzerland, a file by Paul Stauffer on “Poles, Jews, Swiss“ from 2007 as well as a file by Charles Lewinsky titled “A very ordinary Jew“ from 2013.

- Archival history:
- The Swiss Art Council‘s documents 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.
