In total 96 categories, 2891 folders.
The Commodities/Wares archive was organized primarily by type of ware, seconadarily by country (or “World” for general aspects). Larger folders were subdivided by a category sytem (pdf, in German), which is not adressable in the electronic folder.
Of the PM20 Länder-/Sacharchiv up to 1949, only a rough estimate of one-eighth of the digitized holdings are indexed in folders and accessible here. Many small and large commodities/wares such as China, India, France or the USA are missing at all or are only represented by a few folders originating from the “Forschungsstelle für das Übersee-Deutschtum”.
All unprocessed material is accessible under digitized films (in German), including material from the second filming (until 1960) - for copyright reasons, however, unfortunately only in the ZBW reading room. The complete ware category system is available online.
