history
The regional church archive has existed since 1994. After a four-year planning and construction period, the storage facilities and administrative rooms in Lessingstrasse were inaugurated in May 1997. The three-storey warehouse building offers space for 9,000 meters of shelving. In 2010 the regional church archive in Kassel was included in the directory of nationally valuable archives ( law on the protection of German cultural assets against emigration ).
From 2004 to 2016 the archive acted as the office of the Association of Church Archives in the Working Group of Archives and Libraries in the Protestant Church (AABevK) . The archive manager has been chairing the AABevK since May 2016.
