The cultural archive was founded in December 1995 in the information and communication department (today: media, design and information) at the Hanover University of Applied Sciences (today Hanover University) in cooperation with the University of Hanover and the University of Music and Theater . The basic stock was made up of materials from the Society for Film Studies (GFS), which has been promoting film studies activities in Lower Saxony since 1989.

The cultural archive also operates the website filmundgeschichte.de , which primarily provides content on educational work on film history. The focus of the site includes Germany before 1933, the Nazi era: Holocaust in film, Germany after 1945 and Hanover in film . Restored films related to Hanover are shown in public screenings and made accessible on DVD via the JRC.

The cultural archive has been headed by Peter Stettner since it was founded.
