Classification

Each of the testimonies gathered by Dr Eva Reichmann and her colleagues was originally given a summary sheet. The type of information recorded on these summary sheets is not entirely consistent, but usually it includes:

  • An index number
  • A title
  • A date or dates (sometimes the date when the document was created, sometimes the period covered by the content, sometimes the date received)
  • The number of pages
  • The language of the material
  • The author or source
  • The person who recorded the material or the person from whom it was received
  • A synopsis of the content
  • References

The index number gives an indication of the type of content in each report. The first letter, P, designates the collection as a whole.

The collection was then divided up into the following categories:

  1. History up to 1933
    1. General
    2. Imperial German & Pre-1914 Era generally
