Maybe the yet to be found successor to Thomas Ricklin, or my own successor (also yet to be found) will reactivate the forum sometime in the future. (hck) → homepage GGREN

Nun geht es an die Mammutaufgabe: Die Rettung der in den 29 Monaten geborgenen Archivalien. Diese wird in vier Aufgabenbereiche gegliedert: Zunächst erfolgt die Bestandserfassung, die die Zuordnung der in ganz Deutschland verteilten, in Asylarchiven lagernden, Archivalien entsprechend ihren Beständen umfasst.
Der nächste Schritt ist die Zusammenführung des Bestandes, die erst nach der Identifikation der Bestände erfolgen kann. Hat wieder zusammengefunden, was zusammengehört, erfolgt die Restaurierung.
