The University Archive has an extensive reference library on the artists affiliated with the institution as well as on the most important contextual fields. The collection is mainly generated from obligatory copies, as a result of research inquiries and exhibition participations, but also from estates and donations. 

Our reference library is partly searchable via our online database in the literature section. We are also working on continuous inclusion in the Austrian Library Network Catalog. For this we recommend a search via supA. A complete inventory search is possible on site and only by appointment.
