Das Archiv umfasst den literarischen Nachlass des in der DDR 1957 wegen "konterrevolutionärer Gruppenbildung" zu sieben Jahren Haft verurteilten Schriftstellers Erich Loests. Nach seiner Entlassung konnte er lange Zeit nur noch unter Pseudonym publizieren. Er gab vor allem Kriminalromane und leicht eingängige Erzählungen heraus. Loest protestierte gegen die Ausbürgerung Wolf Biermanns 1976, und wurde nun durch die Staatssicherheit als "negativ-feindlicher" Schriftsteller eingestuft und erst 1990 vollständig rehabilitiert. Der Nachlass wird von der Kultur- und Umweltstiftung Leipziger Land betreut. Das Archiv enthält persönliche Gegenstände, Manuskripte und Notizen, die Korrespondenz und Stasi-Akten des Schriftstellers.

Edvard Kocbek Collection

The Edvard Kocbek Collection is located in the depot of the National and University Library in Ljubljana. It is actually his personal bequest to that same library. Kocbek was the greatest Slovenian poet and writer of the 20^th century, who, as a Christian Socialist, joined the Slovene National Liberation Front under the control of the communists during the Second World War. Due to his divergent opinions about the war and the policies of the new communist regime, immediately after the war he was placed under the surveillance of the secret police (known as the UDBA). After that, he was very soon placed under a kind of public isolation, which implied limited movement and restricted access to intellectual life.
