Information

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.

Forming the Archive / Forming the Records

All persons entrusted with administration, as well as all management personnel, have the obligation to sort out relevant written material that has accrued during their duties and is no longer required for their current duties, which, if mentioned in the filing plan, is to be sent to the registry for record keeping. In addition, written material is to be offered to the University Archive for transfer, together with the required supporting documents necessary for its use.

The written and archived material should always be submitted in its original form. Digital or digitally produced documents are to be submitted in a form suitable for transfer that complies with the technological standards at the time of submission.

The University Archive offers consultations on the topic of archiving. Please direct requests for an appointment to archiv@uni-ak.ac.at.

Details on how to use the archives can be found in our User Regulations.
