DOKUMENTATIONSZENTRUM UND MUSEUM ÜBER DIE MIGRATION IN DEUTSCHLAND (DOMID E. V.)

In the location's words:

Migration is not only a big topic in the media, it shapes our society and our everyday life. For 30 years, the Documentation Center and Museum on Migration in Germany (DOMiD) has been collecting the related history. In 1990, the association was founded in the Ruhr area. The initiators were migrants who took the overall social and political atmosphere of their time as an opportunity to commit themselves to researching migration histories. Today, the collection, which is unique in Germany, comprises more than 150,000 everyday testimonies from 1945 to the present, ranging from photographs and objects to documents. The extensive film and sound archive with almost 350 videos can be browsed by appointment. Currently stored on the 4th floor of the Ehrenfeld District Town Hall, the collection is waiting to move into its own museum in the Kalk Halls.
