estate

In 1995 Hans E. Tütsch donated his estate to the American Heritage Center (AHC) of the University of Wyoming in Laramie ( Wyoming , USA). As a result of a realignment of its collection policy, the AHC donated the 2008 estate, which had not been further developed after the takeover, to the Archives of Contemporary History at ETH Zurich . The estate documents both Hans E. Tütsch's own journalistic work and the literary work of his wife Brida Lazzarino Tütsch. The focus is on the collected articles that Tütsch has published as NZZ foreign correspondent over the decades. There is also an extensive correspondence.
