Hamburgisches
Welt-Wirtschafts-Archiv (HWWA)
Folders by
Commodity/ware Category System
In total 965 categories, 2891 folders (until 1949) and 841454 images
on digitized microfilm.
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 Commodities/Wares archives 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
grain, coffee, motor vehicle or metal are missing among the folders and
are acceible only as sections of digitized microfilm under certain
restrictions.
Further unprocessed material from the second filming (until 1960) is, for
copyright reasons, accessible only in the ZBW reading room. The complete
ware category system is available online.
