- Abstract
The Historical Commission for Westphalia was founded in 1896 and has been concerned with regional scientific history. The commission was staffed by historians from the region and later became more professional. The study by Wilfried Reininghaus describes the development of the commission, its organization, and its projects. Various editorial solutions for the publication of historical sources are presented. The history of the commission is presented in a sober manner, including the problems and conflicts that arose. The author introduces the working methods and research work of the commission and analyzes its contributions to regional history. However, he criticizes that the commission reacts little to current research trends and suggests taking a comparative perspective. Overall, the study is praised as a well-founded and informative source on Westphalian regional history.
