The "farewell to the boomers" is accompanied by a loud media response. A generation tidies up and looks back on its life's work. Bequests are more than just a private matter, they play a central role in social tradition. For memory institutions, every generational change means a lot of work. 
In this event, archives, libraries and museums provide an insight into their evaluation and acquisition practices. Afterwards, experts will give tips on how to deal with your own legacy.

 

The initiative is supported by the following partner organizations:

  • Archive of the German Women's Movement
  • Hessen Kassel Heritage
  • Kassel State Library
  • Kassel City Archive
  • Kassel City Museum
  • UniArchive Kassel
  • Kassel University Library

Participation is free of charge, registration is not required.
