Most of the individual items in the collection are recruited from the archives, in particular from estates and court records as well as smaller donations and purchases. The collection is exclusively oriented towards the object and contains material from a wide variety of image techniques and media, whereby a distinction is made between normal, oversized and large formats as well as albums and digital photographs. Originals were reproduced and stored separately until 2002. For conservation reasons, slides, negatives and glass plates are also archived in separate series and provided with their own negative numbers. The arrangement system of the working image archive and the classification of the holdings are divided into two topographical series (domestic and foreign) according to the local alphabet, subdivided according to content into individual views. Another series is the portrait collection, arranged according to the alphabet of names, which records group shots with individual references. Pictorial documents, such as event photos, which are of importance for the Landgrafschaft Hessen-Darmstadt or the Grand Duchy of Hesse and finally the Federal State of Hesse, as well as pictorial documents on the history of archives, auxiliary sciences, military, police, parties, associations/associations, economy, customs, individual population groups, etc., are summarized in the thematic series. The work image archive was closed after entering the title recordings of the images into the online database HADIS. Since the captured images are classified, digitized, and linked to the online title shot of the image, there is no need to make reproductions.

The museum possesses a quite extensive collection of photographs, partly summarized as convolutes or photo albums. These are usually private photographs or photo collections. They have also only been partially recorded and digitised to date.

History of the Inventor: The fleet built in the Electorate of Brandenburg and later in the Kingdom of Prussia fell into decay in the late 18th century. At the beginning of the 19th century Prussia was not a maritime power. It was not until 1811/13 that the company began to acquire vessels for coastal defence again and to develop plans that went beyond this. By letter of 14.11.1817 the other naval powers were informed about the new Prussian war flag. Responsibility for naval affairs lay with the Prussian War Ministry, in which a department for naval affairs finally existed from 1848. At the same time, there was a Technical Marine Commission to draw up proposals for further action. The Royal Prussian Navy was formed with a corresponding Most High cabinet order of 5.9.1848 and subsequently warships were partly commissioned for construction, partly bought or taken over by the fleet of the German Confederation. The Royal Prussian Admiralty was established as the highest naval authority in its own right with the Most High Cabinet Order of 14.11.1853. The head of the Admiralty was the Prussian Prime Minister. The Admiralty at that time consisted of three departments (for Command Affairs; for Technical Affairs; for General and Administrative Affairs). On 30 March 1854, Prince Adalbert of Prussia, the previous head of the Technical Navy Commission, was finally appointed "Admiral of the Prussian Coast" and Commander-in-Chief of the Prussian Navy. On 14.3.1859 the Admiralty was reorganized and divided into two departments (Naval Administration; High Command). Soon afterwards, however, a fundamental reorganization took place. The Admiralty was dissolved with the Most High Cabinet Order of 16.4.1861 and the Prussian Navy Ministry was formed in its place. This was led in personal union by the Prussian Minister of War. With the 25.6.1867 the Prussian Navy went together with the naval forces of the other German states to the North German Federation. The designations in the subsequent period are inconsistent. In research, the term North German Navy is commonly used. The ships now also carried the war flag of the North German Confederation accordingly. The Reichsverfassung of 20.4.1871 defined the navy as a Reich matter and spoke of both "Reichsmarine" and "Kaiserlicher Marine". By an appropriate instruction of Kaiser Wilhelm I. to the chief of the new upper authority for the navy from 1.2.1872 the navy was called from this day on "imperial navy". The Prussian Navy Ministry thus became the Imperial Admiralty. The head of the admiralty was to lead the administration under the responsibility of the Reich Chancellor and the supreme command according to the orders of the emperor (imperial command power). The Admiralty remained the supreme naval authority until 1889, after several reorganizations. Due to the constant enlargement and expansion of the Imperial Navy, the Admiralty was dissolved on 1.4.1889 and three top authorities were created in its place: Imperial Naval Cabinet (see RM 2), Reichsmarineamt (see RM 3), Oberkommando der Marine (see RM 4).

History of the holder: 1867 Foundation of the Federal Chancellery as the central authority for the direct administrative tasks of the North German Confederation (postal and telegraph services, consular affairs) with the exception of foreign affairs, the supervision of the implementation of federal law by the individual states, the preparation of federal legislation and the federal budget as well as the editing of the Federal Law Gazette; After the founding of the German Reich in 1871, the tasks were considerably expanded and the office was renamed the Reich Chancellery; from 1873, successive spin-offs of Reich offices subordinate to the Reich Chancellery (1873 Reich Railway Office, 1875 Reich Post Office, 1877 Reich Office of Justice and Ministry for Alsace-Lorraine, 1879 Reich Treasury); 1879 renamed Reich Office of the Interior. Inventory description: Inventory history The Imperial Offices, which were established at the end of the 1970s, took over the files relating to their respective tasks from the Imperial Chancellery as preliminary files in order to carry out their current business activities. The rest remained with the Reich Office of the Interior, so that the present fonds came to the Reich Archives exclusively via the new Reich Offices and were only formed into a fonds here. As the files of the Reich Chancellery were continued organically in the Reich Offices, the delimitation of the holdings was often arbitrary when the files were transferred to the Reich Archives. After being relocated during the Second World War, the German Central Archive in Potsdam (later the Central State Archive in Potsdam) took over the Reich Chancellery after 1945. Due to the lack of older finding aids, it is not possible to provide specific information about losses due to the war. However, it can be inferred from the shelfmarks of the individual volumes of files that the losses remained low. Archival evaluation and processing The first processing of the Reich Chancellery fonds took place from June 1956 to February 1957 at the German Central Archives in Potsdam. With the exception of the secret files, the fonds were simply indexed. In its short history, the Federal and Reich Chancellery had not been able to find a truly stable organizational form. As a result, it was not possible to find or reconstruct a long-term registry scheme. The revision of the 1972 Findbuch required for printing therefore only allowed for slight editorial corrections. While largely retaining the thematic order created on the basis of the task structure, volumes of files were only reassigned to their original structural parts in individual cases. Due to the high value of the holdings, the cassation rate was essentially limited to multiple transfers.
