Under which institutional conditions were historians able to undertake historical studies in archives? And how did these conditions of historical-archival research impinge on the production of historical knowledge? In looking into these two inextricably interlinked matters, the symposium highlights an essential, and ultimately scientific, attribute of historical work, rising to prominence in Europe during the long nineteenth century. In order to advance our understanding of the history of the study of records and files, its performance and ramifications for the making of historical knowledge, the symposium draws on different strands of scholarship and gathers experts from different fields of research such as the history of historiography, the history of sciences, anthropology and the history of archives.

The symposium is generously funded by the Fritz Thyssen Stiftung and the Universitätsbund Göttingen e.V.
