Title: Cologne City Archive catastrophe Post by hck on 04.03.2009 at 09:29:47 Information on the collapse of the Colgne City Archive can be found (i.a.) at http://archiv.twoday.net/stories/5556678/, http://log.netbib.de/archives/2009/03/03/historisches-stadtarchiv-in-koln-eingesturzt/, http://news.google.de/news?hl=de&q=stadtarchiv+k%C3%B6ln&um=1&ie=UTF-8&ei=jTmuSebLB4mM_gaC-tXMBg&sa=X&oi=news_group&resnum=1&ct=title, http://www.ub.uni-dortmund.de/listen/inetbib/msg38343.html, http://www.sueddeutsche.de/,tt3m1/panorama/776/460410/text/, http://www.stadt-koeln.de/1/presseservice/mitteilungen/2009/02982/. As of now: It seems: it is still unknown whether there are still persons (or bodies) in the debris. :( It is yet unknown how many of the documents (including the holdings of historical libraries) have been destroyed or will be destroyed during the attempts at recovery. On the archive itself see e.g. http://www.stadt-koeln.de/5/kulturstadt/historisches-archiv/, http://www.archive.nrw.de/Kommunalarchive/KommunalarchiveI-L/K/Koeln/index.html, http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historisches_Archiv_der_Stadt_K%C3%B6ln. |

Title: Re: Cologne City Archive catastrophe Post by hck on 04.03.2009 at 17:07:14 Quite some parts of the documents seem to have been recovered or seem to be at least recoverable: see http://archiv.twoday.net/stories/5559312/ and http://archiv.twoday.net/stories/5559416/. ETA: Plus http://archiv.twoday.net/stories/5559607/. |
Title: Re: Cologne City Archive catastrophe Post by hck on 05.03.2009 at 10:47:26 Links and information: also at http://hobohm.edublogs.org/2009/03/04/einsturz-des-kolner-stadtarchivs/. Plus: http://archiv.twoday.net/stories/5560268/ (main gist: it will take some time before we know hat zhas been lost, what has been recovered, what has been damaged (and how)). (cf. etiam: http://archiv.twoday.net/stories/5559949/.) http://archiv.twoday.net/stories/5560160/ sonds like ther is quite some reason for hope. For some somewhat facetious aspects: http://archiv.twoday.net/stories/5560037/. Archivalia (http://archiv.twoday.net/) has far more than the items linked to here. If you read German and are interested: best go there. I'll add new postings to this thread here only in case there should be some sort of "exceptional" news. |

Title: Re: Cologne City Archive catastrophe Post by hck on 24.03.2009 at 09:12:56 For those of you who read German: Klaus Graf: Kölner Stadtarchiv: Auf dem Weg zum Bürgerarchiv? (http://archiv.twoday.net/stories/5602438/) contains lots of relevant information, and quite some amount of reflection, thoughts, etc.. Some of the bits of information:

Title: Re: Cologne City Archive catastrophe Post by hck on 26.03.2009 at 16:42:36 By now the director of the archive is hoping that a bit more than half of the documents can be recovered. If you read German: see http://archiv.twoday.net/stories/5608377/. |
Title: Re: Cologne City Archive catastrophe Post by hck on 27.03.2009 at 08:41:32 For video showing how part of the recovery is done: see http://ocs.zgk.de/mdsocs/mod_movies_archiv/movie/stadtarchivgutvoran/ocs_ausgabe/ksta/index.html Found (of course ... :) ... ) thanks to Archivalia, in this case: http://archiv.twoday.net/stories/5609559/. |
Title: Re: Cologne City Archive catastrophe Post by hck on 01.04.2009 at 10:15:14 By now apparently some 30% of the material has been recovered. (If you read German: see http://www.stadt-koeln.de/1/presseservice/mitteilungen/2009/03132/.) Found thanks to http://archiv.twoday.net/stories/5618763/. |
Title: Re: Cologne City Archive catastrophe Post by hck on 08.04.2009 at 12:49:33 The report (in German) by a recovery team from Aachen university archive at http://hochschularchiv-aachen.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html also mentions the recovery of a number of rinascimental documents: Quote:
Found thanks to http://archiv.twoday.net/stories/5632678/. |
Title: Re: Cologne City Archive catastrophe Post by hck on 20.04.2009 at 11:48:22 DFG will fund the digitising of the indicies of the archive to enhance the manageability of information on recovered and not recovered documents: see http://www.dfg.de/aktuelles_presse/pressemitteilungen/2009/presse_2009_13.html (2009-04-09). |
Title: Re: Cologne City Archive catastrophe Post by hck on 03.06.2009 at 10:30:02 Up to now some 85% of the material could be recovered (though sometimes in a very damaged state), and there are hopes to recover the rest: see http://www.ksta.de/html/artikel/1243453917496.shtml. Found thanks to http://archiv.twoday.net/stories/5733334/. |
Title: Re: Cologne City Archive catastrophe Post by hck on 23.06.2009 at 08:39:28 In this context: some of you might perhaps be interested in the following announcement, which I received via the inetbib email distribution list: Quote:

Title: Re: Cologne City Archive catastrophe Post by hck on 09.07.2009 at 08:34:24 There is news: recovery work has now been extended to zones under the water table and material undamaged by water has been extracted from there. Ca. 10% of the documents are expected to have been transferred by the crash to that zone. See http://www.stadt-koeln.de/1/presseservice/mitteilungen/2009/03501/index.html (German). Found thanks to a note by Klaus Graf on facebook. |
Title: Re: Cologne City Archive catastrophe Post by hck on 04.11.2009 at 07:30:57 For an update (once again in German) which perhaps might be summed up as "there is progress, but it is not exactly fast" see Manfred Reinnarth: Bergung zieht sich weiter hin (Kölnische Rundschau 2009-11-02, 22:40h) (http://www.rundschau-online.de/html/artikel/1246895333070.shtml). Found thanks to a note by Klaus Graf on facebook. |
Title: Re: Cologne City Archive catastrophe Post by hck on 09.08.2011 at 12:00:44 By now most of what was not completely destroyed seems to have been recovered: see http://archiv.twoday.net/stories/38737886/. |
Title: Re: Cologne City Archive catastrophe Post by hck on 11.08.2011 at 09:39:40 The on site recovery work now has been finished: see http://www1.wdr.de/themen/panorama/archiveinsturz390.html.
