The working group ARCHIVE was founded by Franziska Voss and Prof. Dr. Patrick Primavesi at the 13th congress of the society for theatre studies in Frankfurt am Main and Gießen in 2016.

The estate of this dance group, which was formerly directly subordinate to the GDR Ministry of Culture, is on permanent loan to the Federal Archives in Potsdam. The ensemble, consisting of a folklore ballet, a choir and a band, was based in Neetzow Castle from 1953 to 1964, and in Neustrelitz from 1964 to 1991. The dance performances were based on traditional and newly developed folk dances. Rosemarie Ehm-Schulz was in charge of the dance group until 1987, then Cornelia Nenz. The collection contains newspaper articles and magazines, programmes, slides and photos as well as audio and film tapes.
