Ottfried Neubecker Heraldry Collection. Dr. Whitney Smith Flag Research Center Collection [Finding Aid to the Archival Collection]

The Ottfried Neubecker Heraldry Collection contains the vast research materials of German vexillologist and heraldist, Ottfried Neubecker. The Ottfried Neubecker Collection contains the professional records of Dr. Neubecker from the early 1930's through the late 1980's, with a considerable bulk of the collection reflecting Dr. Neubecker's work for the Third Reich Department of Interior. The collection was initially housed in numerous two ring binders and followed a scrapbook type of arrangement. There was an original alphanumerical classification schema that, whenever possible, was observed and retained. As of August 2015, the completion of the first phase of processing of the Dr. Whitney Smith Flag Research Center Collection, no master inventory of the collection has been found. Many individual materials from Dr. Neubecker's collection were interfiled into Dr. Smith's own subject files at some point in the 1990's. The inventory for the Flag Research Center Subject Files attempts to reflect these Neubecker files, though the distinction is not always clear.
