No. I 3 e - 960 Prague, November 9, 1942. To the office of the Secretary of State. Subject: Archive of the former University of Olomouc. Reference: above. About the archive of the ex-University of Olmouc, currently in custody of the previous Catholic theological faculty of Olmosuc, there are no processes in my paper. The situation, however, is as follows: As a result of repeated meetings with the then Oberlandrat in Olmütz, the Stadtarchiv Olmutz, which had received a German full-time director through local mediation, was to receive, in addition to the purely urban archival holdings belonging to it, as a depot as possible, stocks of other origin in custody, which are important for the Olmützer historical beliefs. The plan has not yet been implemented, since 1. the city of Olmüitz could not yet create a permanently usable location for the archives of urban origin and 2. the city archivist appointed in the previous year was drafted into the Wehrmacht during this year. But in order to emphasize the German interest in the archival material of the former University of Olomouc towards the theological faculty, after the failure of the city architect, I asked the German confidant of my department for Moravian archival science, Superior Rechnungsrat Dosoudil, to visit the archive frequently and to report to me on its condition. An acute occasion for this request to Dosoudil was the Gaustudent Leader's intention to hold an exhibition in the near future, as I learned about Group I/11, at ©n0-141a
