Archive buys 300 year old notebook

City Archive Halle Saale (Saxony-Anhalt, Germany) bought a 300 year old notebook, enabled by donations. It's a student's memorandum of his time in Halle in 1710. More than 100 entries of fellow students, teachers etc, including the publishing dynasty Gebauer, were collected by theology student Friedrich Wilhelm Ehr, who rented a chamber at the Gebauers. Archive members hope for more insights in economical and social history of Halle during the 18th century.
