The Collection

Although the collection of the Branch Office in Gliwice contains numerous city records (Gliwice and Zabrze) and records of district administration, the majority of the holdings constitute records of companies and factories like Graf von Ballestrem'sche Gütterdirektion, Oberhütten, Herman Goering and many others. As equally essential one should consider the papers of noble families: Welczko, Baildon and von Durant. Worth mentioning are also post-1945 records of territorial administration in Gliwice or Zabrze. The Archives continue acquisition of records of industrial institutions like coal mines, chemical companies, factories and so forth.

The most often accessed records include, for example, city records, cartographic collection and collection of photographs. Furthermore, the Branch Office boasts an impressive library available for the Reading Room users.
