Research

The University Archive of the University of Applied Arts Vienna as part of Collection and Archive is assigned to the field of Research, Education and Art Development. The main tasks of the archive are to conserve, provide access to and evaluate the administrative, artistic and academic achievements of the university.

In order to document the institution’s history, its defining traditions, and new developments for future research, it is important to create more awareness about the issues of archiving in the age of progressive digitisation. The Federal Archives Act is legally binding for the University Archive.

The University Archive is accessible by appointment only.
