• The database for journals documents 9596 main-articles, published in 20 journals by Herbartians from 1838-1936. There are also articles from “Non-Herbartians”.

- Materials of the Society for Scientific Pedagogy

The department for International Herbartianism Research has got numerous documents from the “Verein für wissenschaftliche Pädagogik” (engl. “Society for Scientific Pedagogy”), central organ of the pedagogical movement of Herbartianism. Following documents are available and can sift through at the local department:

• Constitution of the society
• Member-lists of the society (from 1869- 1914)
• Explanations and notifications to the yearbook of the society (1869-1917)
• Reports and meeting-protocols of the society
• Notifications to the members of the society in the “Allgemeine Schulzeitung” (engl. “General Journal for School”)
