EAMUS AD FONTES - ÜBERLEGUNGEN ZUR ANNÄHERUNG VON ARCHIVEN AN DIE SCHULE.

The article suggests that a growing trend has showed itself in the beginning of the 21st century, in whose framework archives are increasingly combined in school educational field trips. Thus, it is claimed that archives are in need of exposure and must be known to the public and be often used in order to survive and prosper. Against this background, the article looks at the potential nexus between schools and archives with special focus given to the possibilities to strengthen the archives as natural partners of schools within the framework of the rethinking process of the larger education system.
