The main items collected were duplicates, mailing lists and forms. In 2008, the provisional NS 14 inventory was included in the Basys-S inventory database, the inventory information including the classification being largely adopted without corrections. The 134 binders from the BDC Collection NSBDT ("Ingenieure"), which originate from the tradition of the BDC Collection NSBDT ("Ingenieure"), were formed into smaller units of description and assigned to the classification point Membership Matters as an alphabetical series (NS 14/ 129-396). Characterisation of content: In addition to general documents on organisation and administration, files on training and professional issues as well as on speakers and lectures have been handed down. However, the main part of the collection consists of files on membership matters in general in the individual professional associations of the NSBDT as well as on individual persons.
