Helfert‘s plan for the reorganisation of the archives
All state archives of all provinces of the monarchy should be organised under the same professonal standards
Each archivist should have had academic training and education
The state should provide enough money for archives so that they have the possibility to buy endangered archives
The destruction (cassation) of files in the agencies should need the approval of the central commission
