The University of Bremen Archive is turning 25. To mark the occasion, it is hosting an open house.
Sigrid Dauks, director of the University of Bremen Archive: “The archive is much more than a place for files; It is the memory of our university – open, vibrant, and future-oriented. It is full of stories not only about the development of the institution, but also about the people who have shaped it and continue to shape it. We are delighted to look back on 25 years of archival and remembrance work together with the public.”
Since 2000, the university archive has been preserving everything produced by the University of Bremen in the areas of administration, research, and teaching. Today, it comprises over 55,000 items, of which more than 38,000 have been catalogued, including around 12,000 files, 2,670 posters, 3,720 leaflets, more than 5,100 theses, and around 9,500 brochures, newspapers, and magazines. With around 2,200 meters of shelf space – of which around 1,545 meters are already occupied – the archive is a central repository of university knowledge.
University Archive Open House
On June 18, 2025, the university archive will open its doors to curious visitors. Between 11:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m., visitors to GW1 Building, Wing A (ground floor) will get an exclusive look behind the scenes of the archive. In addition to guided tours of the storage rooms, staff will provide insights into ongoing projects such as the Bremen Professor Catalog, the oral history project on the history of the university, the digital timeline of the university, and the online documentation of campus art.

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
