Scope and content
The collections cover the period from the 15th to the 21st century and have different origins. The collections on family and personal history form a focal point, since the holdings of the German Central Office for Genealogy (DZfG), which was integrated into the Leipzig State Archives in 1995, were predominantly assigned to the Collections group. This includes above all the collections of the Reichssippenamt (RSA) in Berlin, until 1940 Reichsstelle für Sippenforschung, which were established within the framework of the "Sippenkundlichen Schriftdenkmalschutzes". Since 1934 the RSA had church records filmed in West and East Prussia, Pomerania, Poznan and Silesia; further films in German settlement areas abroad (including Bessarabia, Bukowina and Slovenia) followed. From 1938, the RSA had Jewish sources of civil status, both governmental and non-governmental, filmed. The films - in addition to films from military church books and other genealogically significant sources - formed the family history collections of the RSA. Of national importance are also the holdings of the genealogical institutions and associations Zentralstelle für deutsche Personen- und Familiengeschichte Leipzig, Deutsche Ahnengemeinschaft e. V. and Verein Roland, Dresden. The 12881 Genealogica collection is also to be mentioned as an archival collection of particular value for research into the history of princely, noble and middle-class families and persons. <br/><br/>Another important collection 22000 Standesamt-Zweitbücher der Gemeinden Sachsens contains above all the death second books of the Saxon municipalities for the period 1933 to 1945.<br/><br/>Maps, cracks, pictures, posters, photos and leaflets are archival collections, which mainly contain archival material from state registries at all levels. First to be mentioned is the stock of 12884 maps and cracks with the results of the three large historical Saxon state photographs from 1586-1634, around 1730 and 1780-1824 available there. These can also be viewed online in digital form via the "Kartenforum" of the Deutsche Fotothek.<br/><br/>Provenienzgebundenes audiovisuelles Archivgut, which has been handed down in the respective stock context, comes from authorities or companies or from private ownership. The audiovisual collection material which is not tied to provenance as well as individual items are grouped into five collections (moving images, sound carriers, multimedia, audiovisual contemporary witnesses, educational and training films).<br/><br/>Finally, the State Archives preserve further archival and pre-archival collections, which include seals, manuscript samples of Saxon princes and officials, mandates as well as collections of contemporary history. <br/><br/>Significant collections of state provenance are available with reference to the Saxon mountain regions, e.g. the mining registers of Saxon mountain regions, the loot sheets, administrative files of various mining directors, team books of individual mining trade unions and the so-called "mining damage analyses".<br/><br/>Reference: The collection holdings of the military are in the inventory group "Kingdom of Saxony 1831 to 1945, Specialist Authorities and Subordinate Institutions, Military". The collections of the SED are part of the collection group "Parties, organizations and associations, parties, SED, collections and estates".
