Inventory history The inventory was originally formed from accesses that were handed over privately to the city archives. Each access was recorded by hand and chronologically in a book and provided with a signature (serial number). In addition, the accesses were recorded in an alphabetical register. In a later phase, this inventory was partially dissolved by combining documents to form an inventory (see NL and V inventories). The remaining part of the collection was transferred to a thematic structure (see Word document 47/11/02/S-Bestand/Gliederung Sammlungsbestand) and provided with the letter "K" (presumably for cardboard). After 2005, a further collection "KLE" (Small Acquisitions) was formed, which also included additions of private provenance. In addition, work has begun on registering the former holdings S and K in Augias. The units recorded in this way now received an S-signature again. In 2011, the separation into the holdings S (the part recorded in Augias up to this point), K and KLE was lifted and all three parts were transferred back into the current holdings S - Collection (Small Acquisitions). The collection of parts of the Augias collection still in the K inventory was successively continued. The old signatures were also recorded. In May 2013, the entire stock was recorded in Augias. The former M inventory (oversizes) is partially represented here by corresponding M signatures. Content Of interest are certainly the early modern and modern books of accounts, businessmen's and business books in the inventory, the tradition to the Lemgoer associations (which do not justify an independent inventory) and the personal and family history documents. In addition, there is also material on schools, the Nazi era, the military, Jews, cemeteries, local districts, etc. The holdings contain several VZE, which are available in oversize format and are stored in the green plan cabinet in the attic Süsterhaus as part of the former M or E holdings.

The Deutsches Institut für tropische und subtropische Landwirtschaft (German Institute for Tropical and Subtropical Agriculture), as the legal successor to the Colonial School, still has the preserved files of the former German Colonial School in Witzenhausen (DKS), a small part of which is in the Marburg State Archives. At the DKS, farmers and planters were trained mainly for the German colonies in the period from 1899 to 1943 (i.e. far beyond the loss of the German colonies). The emphasis was on practical and theoretical training in agriculture, with a very broad curriculum ranging from colonial politics and ethnology to mechanical engineering and economic geography to language teaching. Over 3000 DKS personnel files of directors, employees, lecturers and pupils. In addition to registration and everyday school life such as payments, evaluations of individual achievements, etc., the student files sometimes also contain correspondence with the persons after completion of their training with descriptions of the farm and agriculture over years and sometimes decades, wherever the person worked. The employee and lecturer files usually contain considerably less, even CVs are rare. The complete personal files are recorded on index cards and can be searched (analogue). In addition, various material such as property administration, library books, records of the Court of Honour of the DKS. Extensive photo collection.
