The State Archives offers free online access to millions of digitised archival documents via its search engines. As it is not always easy to get a clear view of all the documents available, this page offers straightforward access to the main archival collections of our institution through a chronologically/topically sorted overview. In the digitisation process, priority is given to backbone series of archives with a high research potential.
