Custodial History

The fonds has been deposited at the HAEU under the terms of a contract signed between the HAEU Director, Dieter Schlenker, and the Chairman and Deputy Chairman of the Board of Management Hugo Bänziger and Manfred Pohl, on 22 April 2014. The material was transferred from the headquarters of the European Association for Banking and Financial History e.V. in Frankfurt to the HAEU in Florence in the summer of 2014.

Content and Structure

Abstract

The EABH fonds includes documents pertaining to the creation of the Association in 1990, to the work of its governing bodies and and to its activities which consist in encouraging the publication of academic research on banking and financial history and in promoting the preservation of historically valuable archive material of public and private banking institutions.

The dossiers cover the years 1989 to 2013 (some documents dating 2014) and include: correspondence by members of the governing bodies, the General Secretariat, EABH members, banking institutions and publishers; minutes, agenda and documents pertaining to meetings of the governing bodies and ad hoc working groups; documents related to conferences, seminars and workshops including the texts of the speeches and papers presented.
A collection of photographs taken during various events, a collection of printed 'Public Relations' material and some electronic/digital storage media (CDs) are also included in the fonds.
It is worth noting that a increasingly large number of correspondence starting from approximately 1995 consists of papers versions of electronic mails (print-outs).
