Scope and content

History of the Inventory Designer: Established in Munich in 1934 to document the history of the NSDAP and its affiliated divisions as well as their forerunners in the Peoples' Movement by taking over the material collection of the Reichspropagandalleitung and the press archive of the NSDAP, which is also integrated there. As an information centre for all party and state departments, files of party organs and authorities were kept in addition to library stocks, journal and picture collections, as well as experience reports, private collections, written and printed material of dissolved and banned parties and organisations. In 1929 the NSDAP acquired the Rehse Collection as an archive for contemporary history and journalism. As a party office it was subordinated to the Reich Treasurer and existed independently of the main archive as an official party archive.
