The inventory of the Niedersächsische Staatsarchive (Lower Saxony State Archives) can be found [http://aidaonline.niedersachsen.de/default.htm online] at&nbsp; Clicking on “Online-Recherche”, then on “AIDA-online”, choosing “über Archive und Beständegruppen” one can select any archival name. When selecting an archive, “Dokumente” and “Akten” are the next choices. Dokumente (documents) deal mainly with official documents bearing seals, while “Akten” (folders) are concentrating on documents having to do with all kinds of administrative activities. Concentrating on “Allgemeine und gebündelte Verwaltung”, “Polizei und Justiz” as well as “Kirchen und Schulen” most likely contain information pertinent to the family historian.

Under ''Allgemeine und gebündelte Verwaltung'' one can find the documents of each Amt (administrative jurisdiction). Each Amt in the former territories of Hanover was responsible to look after the affairs of state as well as deal with the poor and needy.

Choosing an Amt from the drop-down list gives the researcher another list. “Gliederung” classifies all subjects with which the Amt was concerned. If one wants to know what exactly the archive houses in regards to “Armensachen” (matters of the poor), a click on the classification number would hi-light a text explaining the content. If one was to take a look at the document, the order number is given as well as the signatur. Knowing these facts about a document makes it easier for the archival staff to retrieve it when visiting the facility. If the item is not what was wanted, a glance further down the list will provide more clues of what the archive can provide re. Armensachen.

=== Family Research in the city archive Hildesheim  ===
The archive has a variety of genealogical sources appropriate for genealogical research.
'''Civil registration records<br>'''Information gathered by civil authorities started in 1875 in Hildesheim. These records become archival records after a certain time frame and are then stored in the city archive. They are available if one has a reasonable interest in historical or family related issues and time frames. These are:<br>Birth registers older than 110 years<br>Marriage registers older than 80 years<br>Death registers older than 30 years<br>For each year of an event exists a register of names in alphabetical order, however, names then appear in chronological order.
'''City registration records<br>'''The city has registration records from before 1946. These records are freely accessible when 100 years after a person’s birth have passed and after 10 years from a person’s death date. Information will be supplied by the archive.
'''Church registers<br>'''Up to 1875 individual’s birth, marriage, and death were registered by the church. The law ordered duplicates for such records which are available at the archive for the years 1853 through 1874. The researcher is free to browse through them himself. If the information is not available in the duplicate records the researcher should contact
For Catholic records the Bistum Hildesheim and for<br>Evangelical records the individual parishes. There also exists a research center in the Martin-Luther-Kirchengemeinde Nordstadt-Drispenstedt, Peiner Strasse 53, 31137 Hildesheim. Email coordes@martin-luther-kirche.de
'''Jewish records<br>'''The city archive has Jewish records from the years 1808-1815 and 1844-1874.
'''Address books<br>'''They are available for the year 1827 and then again from 1840-1998. They just list the head of household, not entire families.
'''Other sources helpful for family research<br>'''Such records are not listed by names but rather by subject. Further clues about a person can appear in<br>• Urkunden (documents)<br>• Amtsbücher (administrative books)<br>• Akten (briefs)<br>• Nachlässe und Familienpapiere (wills and family papers)<br>• Genealogische und heraldische Sammlungen (genealogical and heraldic collections)
