In the early 1980s, the family of Hermann Huber (1888–1967) gave SIK-ISEA the correspondence between Otto Meyer-Amden (1885–1933) and Hermann Huber, which is of tremendous value to researchers. More than 300 letters from Meyer-Amden and over 60 letters from Huber have survived.

The posthumous papers of painter and art critic Charles Montag (1880–1956) include a large number of documents about the organisation of exhibitions, as well as personal photos and correspondence with his family and with collectors. The fonds was gifted to SIK-ISEA in the early 1980s.

The fonds relating to the Lucerne painter Max von Moos (1903–1979) was passed on to SIK-IKEA in the early 1980s. It includes the artist’s business correspondence, records of family history and numerous documents arising from his post as a teacher at the Kunstgewerbeschule in Lucerne.

The posthumous papers of Otto Münch (1885–1965) were gifted to SIK-ISEA’s Swiss Art Archives in 2005. Apart from a full photographic record of his works, there are systematic cash books, day books, order books and address lists.
