- Archival history:
- The fonds was created by gathering together parts of collections of so–called contemporary documentation (collections in which various written, printed and pictorial documents or audio recordings had been deposited) of posters, leaflets and minor printed matter. The basis for the collection consists of the documents which were passed on to the archive from the registry office of the former Land Office, as well as material from the period of the Nazi Occupation which was handed over gradually by the individual print works. The rest of the fonds was gained from fortuitous finds or gifts. The collection was arranged in several stages from the 1960s.
- Subject terms:
- Jewish political activity
- Posters
- System of arrangement:
- The entire fonds is divided into four parts, and an inventory has been issued for each. In its first part the fonds contains materials from the end of the 19th century to 1945 and is divided into two series. A - Posters, B - Leaflets and minor printed matter. Both series are then divided into subject groups depending on the individual types of events to which the materials in the form of posters or leaflets apply. (political, cultural, social, PE, healthcare, economic and various events). During the arrangement of the other parts of the fonds covering the period 1945-1985, the same fundamental classification was used.
