Capturing Life Through Imagery
About the archive
Our archive contains around 255,000 photographs, including over 5,688 colour slides from the period 1938 to 1945, as well as around 50 hours of historical film footage. The collection is supplemented by detailed war diaries and rare photos from the years 1914 to 1945 and the colonial period. The archive focuses on German history from the colonial period until shortly after the Second World War. Our holdings of photos and documentation from this period are continually being digitised and expanded.
