Over the past few years the extensive archives have been complemented by a number of partial archives, each of which highlights a particular aspect of Paul Klee's life and work and also his “after-life”:

• The music archive documents Klee’s close relationship with music. However the bulk of the collection relates to works by modern composers from 1945 who refer to Paul Klee in their works, with to date some 250 scores and 170 recordings. The music archive now assists the work of the Music Department at the Zentrum Paul Klee.
• The film archive collects auteur films as well as all types of film production on Klee. Unfortunately we have no record of any original film documents of Klee; however the spectrum of posthumous Klee films ranges from animated films to travel documentaries.
• An archive of the students of Paul Klee has recently been founded. It collects the correspondence and photos of his private students as well as notes and papers from Klee’s lectures at the Bauhaus and the Düsseldorf Academy of Fine Arts. The student archive is the counterpart to Klee’s Pedagogical Estate, and illustrates the impact his lectures have had.
• The “Klee and Bern” Project is still in its early stages. Bern was Klee’s home town; it was where he grew up and where he spent the last years of his life. The Project therefore aims to gather photographic, text and sound documents on Klee’s relationship with Bern, the city, its surroundings and above all his friends, acquaintances and neighbours.
• A future project is the archive of Klee’s influence. It is designed to record Klee’s “after-life” and the way in which his oeuvre is studied and addressed today. This includes firstly the large chapter featuring artists who have been inspired by Klee, particularly in the 1950s and 1960s, and secondly each form of adaptation of the motifs of his work in a different context, for instance in literature as well as advertising, commercial art and product design.
