As with the library, it was also founded on the collection of the Ma\u0107ica Serbska. It preserves documents important for historical research and current cultural practices and makes them available to users. Among the most important objects are the bequests of Sorbian politicians, scientists, musicians, writers and artists from Upper and Lower Lusatia. The records of Domowina, the umbrella organisation for Sorbian associations, from its founding in 1912 until 1989 are among the most important collections. In addition, the archive contains papers from Sorbian associations, including the Ma\u0107ica Serbska, from student and school student associations, from choirs, from the gymnastics club Soko\u0142 and from several cultural and educational organisations up to 1989. A highlight of the archive is it photo collection, photo bequests, and sound and film recordings. In addition to this material the archive collects PhD theses, newspaper cuttings, programmes and posters on Sorbian topics.<\/p>\n<p>In the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.serbski-institut.de\/bibliothek\/virtueller-lesesaal\/\">Virtual reading hall<\/a> you will find all the offers of the Sorbian Central Library and the holdings of the Sorbian Cultural Archive at a glance.<\/p>\n<h2>Opening times<\/h2>\n<p>Monday \u2013 Wednesday 9 am \u2013 4 pm,<br \/>\nThursday 9 am \u2013 6 pm<br \/>\nFriday closed.<\/p>\n<div class=\"alert alert-warning\">Maundy Thursday, April 2nd 2026, the library and archive will only be open until 4 p.m. We wish our readers a blessed Easter! <\/div>\n<p>Contact: <a class=\"link_mail hover\" title=\"Verlinkte E-Mail &#98;i&#x62;l&#x69;o&#x74;&#101;&#x6b;&#97;&#x2d;&#97;r&#x63;h&#x69;w&#x40;&#115;&#x65;&#114;&#x62;&#115;&#x6b;&#105;-&#x69;n&#x73;t&#x69;&#116;&#x75;&#116;&#x2e;&#100;&#x65;\" href=\"&#x6d;&#x61;&#x69;&#x6c;&#x74;&#x6f;&#x3a;&#x62;&#x69;&#x62;&#x6c;&#x69;&#x6f;&#x74;&#x65;&#x6b;&#x61;&#x2d;&#x61;&#x72;&#x63;&#x68;&#105;&#119;&#64;&#115;&#101;&#114;&#98;&#115;&#107;&#105;&#45;&#105;&#110;&#115;&#116;itut&#46;de\">biblio&#116;&#101;&#107;&#97;&#45;&#97;&#114;&#x63;&#x68;&#x69;&#x77;&#x40;&#x73;&#x65;&#x72;&#x62;&#x73;&#x6b;&#x69;-insti&#116;&#117;&#116;&#46;&#100;&#101;<\/a><br \/>\nTelefon: +493591\/4972-33, -34<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Sorbian Cultural Archive is the only official archive for Sorbian collections and archive material.
