Germanic Collections
- Wilhelm von Humboldt Manuscript Archives on microfilm.
Prof. Kurt Mueller-Vollmer, Professor Emeritus of the Department
of German Studies at Stanford, arranged for acquisition of the
microfilmed archive of these ethnographic and linguistic manuscripts.
Prof. Mueller-Vollmer conducted extensive research using this
Nachlass which is held at several archival collections in Germany
(Staatsbibliothek Preussischer Kulturbesitz) and Poland (Uniwersytet
Jagiellonski, Biblioteka Jagiellonska, Krakow); the first results
of his work have been published as Wilhelm von Humboldts Sprachwissenschaft:
ein kommentiertes Verzeichnis des sprachwissenschaftlichen
Nachlasses. (Paderborn, 1993). The microfilming project which
was started in 1989 has now come to its completion with the acquisition
of two last microfilms from Archiv Schloss Tegel (Germany). A
detailed contents description, prepared
by Nathalie Auerbach, can be consulted.
The microfiche edition of the Press Archives on German History
and International Politics from 1949 - 1960 consists of 250,000
press clippings. It presents valuable material for the examination
and investigation of contemporary development between 1949 and
1960 with the main focus being on German politics.
