Das Geheime Ministerialarchiv in Berlin (1838 1874)

'The Secret Ministerial Archives in Berlin (1838-1874). On the Fate of the Registries of the Generaldirektorium in Prussia after 1806': The Generaldirektorium holdings held in the Prussian Secret State Archives in Berlin are so important that they form the II. Main Department of the archive. As Prussia's central authority, the Generaldirektorium was responsible for the country's financial, economic and domestic policy from 1723 to 1808. The documents also retained great value for the successor authorities, so that the Secret Ministerial Archive was established. The history of this archive, which was headed by the historian Adolf Friedrich Johann Riedel, is dedicated to developments in the history of administration, holdings and archives in 19th century European archives.
