dc.abstract.enSince the end of the Second World War, the Humboldt estate has remained divided mainly between Germany and Poland. Despite many efforts, a significant portion of Humboldtiana remains unexamined and uncatalogued. This concerns the manuscripts from the Autographa Collection and includes archive boxes nos. 86 and 87, which contain around 1,200 documents relating to Alexander von Humboldt, his brother Wilhelm, and Wilhelm’s wife Caroline, née von Dacheröden. The aim of this paper is to give an overview of the Humboldt family’s legacy stored in Cracow and to outline the primary challenges faced by scholars in systematically cataloging it. In addition, a concept for such a systematic catalog is presented, along with key substantive and formal assumptions.
