At the end of the 1980s and through the good offices of foundation colleague Klaus Reiff, the Friedrich Ebert Foundation Library took over a comprehensive collection of printed "underground materials" by the Independent and Self-Governing Trade Union Solidarnosc. Further notes on the inventory can be found at:
For many years, the Solidarnosc collection was only indexed very roughly according to archival aspects Due to work organisational reasons, it was neither possible to create any finding aids nor to establish any scientific bibliothecal documentation.
In 1999, the Erich Brost Foundation provided the funds necessary to conduct an adequate expert indexing of the Polish trade union materials. Thus it was possible to entrust the inventory to a native speaker who catalogued the stocks.
This inventory will be included in the creation of the East Europe Virtual Specialized Library (ViFaOst) The Bavarian State Library is responsible for building up the East Europe Virtual Specialized Library. It will integrate these specialised collections of the Friedrich Ebert Foundation Library in its product offer.
