ART ​ARCHIVE

Welcome to the historical CHILD ART ARCHIVE, where the past comes to life through the ​eyes of children and young people. The collection is a treasured part of children's heritage. It ​features a fascinating array of children's drawings from different eras in the 19th, 20th and ​21st centuries, in Germany, Austria and France.

CHILD ART ARCHIVE

It was donations and discoveries that gave rise to our ​collection. The drawings, children's letters, school ​notebooks, poetry albums and photos offer a unique insight ​into the thoughts, dreams, and experiences of previous ​generations, both in peace and wartime. Particular ​attention is also paid to young girls' drawings and their ​forms of expression, which have often been less ​appreciated and collected.

The Archive has a clear mission: to preserve and ​research these historical drawings, providing valuable ​insights into the social, cultural, and emotional ​landscapes of bygone times.


The CHILD ART ARCHIVE is a member of IRAND ​(International Research and Archive Network for ​Historical Childrens Drawings).


The Archive is a private research institution located in ​Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany.
