The Leiber Fund
Church and religion orientate their legal relationship with the state from the task they perform within society […] (R. Leiber)
Robert Leiber SJ was advisor to Eugenio Pacelli while he was Nuncio in Munich and in Berlin. He continued advising Pacelli, who was then Cardinal Secretary of State. After Pacelli was elected to the papacy as Pope Pius XII, Leiber helped and advised him until the Pope’s death.
The Leiber Fund consists of 14 folders of correspondence containing over 3000 letters and 10 folders with lecture notes, drafts for articles or lectures, bibliographical notes, newspaper cuttings and journal extracts.
Work in progress
We are currently working on the inventory and digitisation of the Leiber Fund. The material will be inaccessible to scholars for the entire period required for these operations. However, in order to speed up the process, APUG will be happy to welcome researchers and institutions willing to contribute to the task through
a) scanning
b) building metadata
c) inventory work.
The Fund will be open to any scholar or institution who agrees to cooperate with the Archive for at least six months.
