Braunschweig City Archive: Current Access and Availability
The Braunschweig City Archive, located at Schlossplatz 1 North Wing, Entrance "Schloss-Museum" in Braunschweig (38100), is a publicly accessible resource for historical documents and newspapers. The archive can be reached by following signs towards the city center or castle, with parking available (fee required) in the Schloss-Arkaden parking garage.
For those planning a visit, it is recommended to inquire about any current restrictions beforehand by email or phone. As of now, there is no explicit publicly available information detailing specific restrictions on the use of newspapers in the Stadtarchiv Braunschweig. However, some microfilm newspapers are currently only available to a limited extent due to preventive checks and measures regarding the so-called acid syndrome. Individual films' availability may change on a weekly or long-term basis.
The Volksfreund (H II: Z 2) and the Deutsche Reichszeitung (H II: Z 15) are not available for use until at least the end of the year. Some newspapers in the archive, however, have been digitized and are available on PCs in the reading room. A list of the digitized newspapers can be found online.
