A second file contains clarifications concerning the establishment of an Israelite home of education in the former “Hotel zum Schweizerhof“ in Neuhausen am Rheinfall. [Schule 2/165; Schule 2/974]
- Archival history:
- It is not known when this collection was transferred to the State Archive.
- Administrative/biographical history:
- The State Archive is the archive of the Swiss Canton of Schaffhausen and its predecessors. It safeguards the historical tradition of the canton and the former city-state, preserves it and makes it accessible to the public. The archives of the former city-state of Schaffhausen until 1830 form the historical core of the tradition. Also of great importance are the holdings of the monasteries of Allerheiligen and St. Agnes in Schaffhausen, which were dissolved during the Reformation, the Paradies monastery in Schlatt and St. Georgen in Stein am Rhein. The State Archive also keeps the archives of the historical guilds and today's guild associations.
