Dokumentensammlung des Archivs Bürgerbewegung Leipzig

Leipzig ist nicht nur die Stadt der Montagsdemonstrationen, die sich im Herbst 1989 schnell auf die gesamte DDR ausweiteten und das Regime kollabieren liessen. In der Stadt waren auch die Jahre zuvor zahlreiche Jugend-, Friedens-, Umwelt- und Menschenrechtsgruppen aktiv. Mit seiner Dokumentensammlung besitzt das Leipziger Archiv Bürgerbewegung die größte Sammlung zu ihrer und der Geschichte der Montagsdemonstrationen.

Black Box Foundation Video Archive at OSA

The video periodical Black Box was the first independent film production studio during the last years of communist rule in Hungary. It reported on demonstrations and civilian initiatives that the official media passed over in silence or reported on with disinformation. With its film reports, and portraits distributed in samizdat channels, at the beginning Black Box managed to create the largest film collection documenting the events of the transitional period and the change of political system both in Hungary and in other communist countries.

Documents of the Danube Circle's Association

The collection includes the documents of the Danube Circle Association, which was a non-governmental organization in opposition to the government’s project to construct a River Barrage Dam near Nagymaros (Hungary) in the 1980s. The Danube Circle movement tried to prevent the construction of the dam with samizdats, public debates, and protests. The Circle was one of the new types of alternative movements, which expanded the base of the “traditional” intellectual opposition.

Erazm Ciołek Papers at the Hoover Institution

Erazm Ciołek was a Polish photojournalist, mostly known for his photographs of the Polish Solidarity movement. The bulk of the collection consists of Ciołek's photographs taken between the birth of Solidarity in 1980 and the collapse of state socialism in Poland in 1989. These works document the legendary strike at the Lenin Shipyard in Gdańsk in 1980, the martial law period in Poland, opposition protests and demonstrations, the Round Table Talks between the opposition and the party regime, and Solidarity's victory in the partly free elections of 4 June 1989. The remaining photos depict the beginnings of democratic rule in Poland and post-Ceaușescu Romania, which the photographer visited in 1990-91. The collection also includes portfolios of photographic reproductions, flyers and catalogues of Ciołek's exhibitions.
