Overview
Neues Archiv für Niedersachsen (short: Neues Archiv) is a German academic journal dedicated to urban, regional and state development in the federal state of Lower Saxony. According to its subtitle, it is a "Zeitschrift für Stadt-, Regional- und Landesentwicklung des Bundeslandes Niedersachsen". The journal is published twice a year, in June and December, with each issue focusing on a different thematic priority. It reports on research findings about Lower Saxony and publishes essays on regional studies topics. A regular section is the bibliography of new publications about the federal states of Lower Saxony and Bremen. Once a year, a statistical overview of the spatial-structural development of Lower Saxony's regions is provided. The publisher of Neues Archiv is the association Wissenschaftliche Gesellschaft zum Studium Niedersachsens, based at the address of the Niedersächsischer Heimatbund in Hannover. The journal first appeared in 1940 under the title Archiv für Landes- und Volkskunde von Niedersachsen, published by Stalling Verlag in Oldenburg until issue 24 in 1944.
