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 Haag-Kraus, Leonhard, Partikular, alt Schmiedemeister (SWA HS 171): documents from the Basel blacksmith craft
Weaving loom plans of the Basel silk ribbon firm Forcart-Weis & Burckhard-Wildt (SWA HS 260 P 20 - P 30): precise technical drawings
Letter copy books of the Basel silk ribbon firm Forcart-Weis & Burckhard-Wildt (SWA HS 260 G 1 - G 7): recollection of a wide trade network
Minutes of Chemie Uetikon (CU) (SWA PA 578): the minutes of the General meeting and the Board meetings are now online up to the 1980s
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, 7800 files with business letters from the company archives Forcart-Weis & Söhne (Württembergerhof) (SWA HS 258 U) (textile industry) are now live.
