Kristeller family

This collection contains various materials, mostly photocopies, assembled by Jean Korn on the history of the extended family of Isaak Bergmann. The collection notably includes several original documents and photographs of the Bergmann family extending from the 19th into the late 20th century, as well as materials on the related Kristeller, Imbach, Herzmann, Badt, and Leisten families.

The collection contains documents (birth and death certificates, diplomas, wills, etc.) and correspondence related to the Kristeller and Kappel families. One section deals with Hans Kristeller's collection of materials related to Jacques Offenbach. There is extensive documentation about him sending the collection to the US in 1937 and trying to sell it there. The fate of the collection is unknown.
