Generaldirektion der Staatlichen Archive Bayerns
With their extensive records on the fiscal plundering of persecuted persons during the Nazi era and on indemnification after 1945, the Staatliche Archive Bayerns (Bavarian State Archives) constitute a central source of information for provenance research. Of particular note are the tax files of racially persecuted persons from tax offices, divestment files from regional tax authorities, post-war asset assessment files as well as indemnification records from the reparations office. In the Forschungsverbund Provenienzforschung (Research Association for Provenance Research), archival indexes that only exist in analogue form to date – especially card indexes – are to be digitalised (so-called retroconversion) and, in part, made accessible in greater depth, to improve possibilities for research.
