Systematic arrangement, cataloguing and long-term safeguarding of documents, holdings and collections according to professional and institutional criteria. Existing structures are taken into account, as are future use and the archive’s long-term traceability.

Billing is based on actual time spent in 15-minute units. Larger inventorying projects are quoted after an initial review of the holdings.

Existing archives and collections are reviewed, organised and further developed so that their structures and documentation remain consistent and usable in the long term. This also includes cleaning up organically grown filing systems, supplementing existing cataloguing, and identifying where action is needed.

Billing is based on actual time spent in 15-minute units; individual arrangements are possible for regular or longer-term archive maintenance.

Objects and holdings are systematically recorded, described and documented—from material and formal characteristics to origin, condition and relevant contexts. Recording is based on the existing holdings and can be integrated into existing inventory systems or newly developed ones.

Targeted investigation of objects, people, events and contexts using suitable analogue and digital sources. Research results are critically assessed as sources, cross-checked and documented so that findings and remaining uncertainties remain traceable.

Billing is based on actual time spent in 15-minute units. The maximum research effort can be defined before work begins.

Billing is based on actual time spent in 15-minute units; for more extensive enquiries, based on a cost cap agreed in advance.

The origin, ownership and historical contexts of restituted or restitution-relevant objects are investigated and documented. The focus is a source-critical reconstruction of provenance that makes established findings visible as well as gaps, contradictions and open questions.

Billing is based on actual time spent in 15-minute units. Due to the difficult-to-predict scope of research, work is preferably carried out with a cost cap agreed in advance.

Handwritten or otherwise hard-to-access historical documents are transcribed faithfully into a readable text that can be reused. Illegible passages, uncertainties, abbreviations and peculiarities of the original are clearly marked and, on request, commented on.

Billing is based on actual time spent in 15-minute units. For larger sets of documents, an effort estimate can be prepared after reviewing a representative sample.
