Published online by Cambridge University Press: 06 June 2016
Abstract
The Museum der Arbeit (Museum of Work) in Hamburg, Germany, took over the collections of the remarkable Reemtsma Cigarettenfabriken (Reemtsma Tobacco Co.) almost exactly ten years ago. The traditional, German-owned international company had established and maintained a comprehensive cultural-historical collection during their approximately hundred years of trading. The collections include photographic archives, advertisement and product archives, as well as the historical tobacco collection with various library holdings. What treasures of our cultural heritage are bound to be discovered? How can we sufficiently document and research collection holdings this complex and varied in a museum?
