The Swiss Economic Archives (SWA) are digitizing selected holdings. Interesting documents are now accessible online on the e-manuscripta platform. Here are some highlights.
Among others, the following fonds have been digitized since the beginning of the year:
Company archives Texas Landgesellschaft (Texas land company, Basel) (SWA HS 387) - a colonization company from Basel which helped Swiss people emigrate to Texas
Parts of company archives Chemie Uetikon, chemical industry (SWA PA 578) - minutes of the board and the general meetings now available online until 1961
Parts of Silk ribbon pattern book collection of some Basel silk ribbon producers (SWA HS 800) -still more beautiful pattern books
As part of the Basel University Library's ink corrosion project, holdings from the SWA are also being digitized and processed. As the first results of this project, 4000 files with business letters from the company archives Forcart-Weis & Söhne (Württembergerhof) (SWA HS 258) (textile industry) are now live; we are currently in the year 1832.
