I wish to order archival material for personal consultation in the reading room of the Central Archives, 1030 Vienna

Orders can be placed by e-mail provided you are able to give exact reference numbers (“Archivsignaturen”). To obtain these consult the Archival Information System.

Please indicate your full name and an e-mail address as well as the date of your visit.

Your material will be made available in the reading room without further notification.

Please note: The mere mention of a field of interest, topic or a person’s name will not result in any material being made available for consultation in the reading room!

E-mail orders need to be placed at least 3 working days in advance.

To make sure that your material is ready for consultation you may call 01 79540 640 502 or 01 79540 640 503 before visiting us.

We are unable to accept bulk orders stretching over several days.

On site please use the order forms available in the reading room (one form per archival unit), as orders by e-mail can take longer to proceed.

Digitised archival material is no longer available for consultation in the reading room.

You may order a maximum of three boxes/fascicles/registers or 10 individual items (such as maps, plans, photographs etc.) per day.

Repeat orders will be delivered after you have handed back the material from your previous order.

Please make sure that you have pre-booked a seat for the “Forschersaal ZA (Central Archives)” at Nottendorfer Straße 2, 1030 Vienna (online) for each day of your visit. This is mandatory.

For anyinformation on our location, opening hours, access regulations, fees etc. please go to our website.
