Landesarchiv Berlin
The establishment of the Berlin's Landesarchiv, in a modern sense of the term, is considered to be 1808. During WWII collections of the archives were dispersed, so as to avoid destruction; and later after the war in the 1950s/60s the surviving collections were returned.In 1991, the Landesarchiv merged with the Stadtarchiv in Berlin. In 2000, the Landesarchiv discovered valuable additions by integrating the Archivabteilung der Landesbildstelle and the Archiv der Internationalen Bauausstellung (IBA).It is also considered an audio-visual media archive of Berlin.
