history
The BLHA was founded in 1883 as the “Brandenburgisches Provinzialarchiv” or “State Archive for the Province of Brandenburg and the Reich Capital Berlin” (since 1931). Until then, Brandenburg was the only Prussian province not to have its own state archive, as this function was carried out by the Secret State Archive of Prussian Cultural Heritage in Berlin-Dahlem . After 1945, the safeguarding of the archives and the development of the archiving system in the newly formed state of Brandenburg required the establishment of an archive. By order of the Brandenburg Minister of the Interior on June 21, 1949, the Brandenburg State Archives were founded (from 1951 "Brandenburgisches Landeshauptarchiv", from 1965 to 1991 "Staatsarchiv Potsdam"). Use was discontinued in summer 2015 so that the BLHA could move to the Golm Science Park. It has been used at the new location in Potsdam-Golm since March 1, 2016.
