Silbernagel, Alfred
Sub-Fonds · 1919-1938
Part of Private Archives

The first six items of the collection (folder 1.1-6) contain the correspondence between Matthey, Silbernagel's attorney, and Sevensma, director of the Library of the League of Nations, concerning this legacy, as well as an extract of Silbernagel's last will and a letter by him explaining the motives of his bequest.

The actual collection consists of newspaperclippings, postcards, posters and pamphlets. All of the items concern the referendum held in Switzerland on the question of Swiss membership in the League of Nations, on 16 May 1920. Especially the activities of the Baseltown Action Committee are documented.
