History: Portfolios are genealogical works that have not reached the level of a publication and therefore have a special genealogical value due to their usually small size or limited distribution. They cover the entire German-speaking area.<br /><br />Contents: Pedigree charts and lists - Ancestral charts - Manuscripts of genealogical works - Local history newspaper articles - Family journals Family journals.<br /><br />Extensive introduction: Prehistory<br /><br />The history of the Genealogische Mappenstücke collection is closely linked to the development of the genealogical libraries and collections of the former Verein Deutsche Ahnengemeinschaft e. V. in Dresden and the Zentralstelle für deutsche Personen- und Familiengeschichte in Leipzig. The circulation of genealogical lists organized in 1921 by the Dresden District Court Director Karl Förster (1873 - 1931) led to the founding of the Ahnenlistenaustausch (ALA) association in the same year, which took on the name Deutsche Ahnengemeinschaft e. V. in 1930. The results of its work are not only an extensive collection of ancestor lists, but also the associated mapping of their contents in the form of the Ahnenstammkartei and an extensive genealogical library. Since September 15, 1933, the Ahnenstammkartei and the resulting collections had been handed over to the Reichsstelle für Sippenforschung in Berlin, where a staff of around 10 employees<a href="#B01"> <sup id="A01">[01]</sup></a> constantly used them to determine ancestry, for hereditary biology reports and for general family and clan research for the period before 1800. Until April 3, 1939, the day the card index was returned to Dresden, incoming ancestor list contents were incorporated, as well as numerous local and social history publications. Like all associations, the Deutsche Ahnengemeinschaft was formally dissolved by SMAD order in 1945 and its genealogical collections were stored in the Dresden Main State Archives, where they remained until 1967 and were looked after and further expanded by Kurt Wensch. Parts of the reference library and the genealogical collections of the Central Office for German Personal and Family History, founded in Leipzig in 1904 and housed in the German Library since 1921, were assigned to the Leipzig State Archive in 1962 and transferred to its premises. All these genealogical materials were centralized in 1967 with the founding of the Central Office for Genealogy in the GDR in Leipzig and made accessible for direct use.<br /><br />History and processing of holdings<br /><br />With the expansion of the ancestor list exchange in Dresden in 1923 to include the creation of an ancestor index, the need arose to also evaluate books, journals, manuscripts, maps, plans or special card indexes. While the designation AL and the serial number had initially sufficed as signatures for the ancestor lists, further distinguishing features now had to be defined. Genealogical materials were thus designated as A items and the following additions were added to them: Bu (book), Z (journal), Ma (folder). While journals and books were placed in the library, the genealogical folders, which were usually smaller in size, were kept in folders that were placed in cardboard boxes. These were essentially dependent works or gray literature. The most important dependent works were those published as part of anthologies or collections. These included, for example, journal articles, essays, contributions, maps, town plans, reviews or statistics. However, genealogical and ancestral charts, family journals or short family histories produced only for the closest family circle were also archived in this form.<br /><br />As early as 1933 to 1939, a large part of the collection of genealogical folders was created at the Reichsstelle für Sippenforschung in Berlin, as it was recognized that these were unique documents.
