You can view these four photos on the Internet, but you will need to click on
képhez and follow instructions (in Hungarian) in order to download the Budapest State Archive's internal viewing program.
There is also more information if you search under his wife's maiden name of Schneider Etelka.
If you live in Budapest SWISSROLL, these archives are well worth visiting. The spacious building is brand new and has a free car park. It also has a small cafe, is open 4 days a week and has two late nights for those who have to work, membership is free, photocopies of original documents are inexpensive and the staff are young and most helpful. The only problem is their summer recess (closed all of August) and administration. You will firstly need to become a member, fill out many forms to order up any documents you want to view, and then return a few days later when the documents will be made available to you. Such a system does not suit a researcher that can only afford to visit Budapest for a few days, but the benefits often far outweigh the disadvantages.
