Austrian State Archives of Vienna
The Austrian State Archives were founded in the years 1945 - 1947 unifying
the historically grown sections Hofkammerarchiv, Kriegsarchiv, Haus-, Hof-
und Staatsarchiv, Finanzarchiv und Archiv fuer Verkehrswesen and put under
the direction of the executive board. In 1947 the Hofkammerarchiv and the
Finanzarchiv were united to the section Finanz- und Hofkammerarchiv. In
1984 the Archiv der Republik was established. This association had already
been partly anticipated in 1940 from the Reichsarchiv, which was an archival
organization established in 1940 under the management of the director of
the Haus-, Hof- und Staatsarchiv, and some other state archives.
As the history of the Habsburg empire involved large parts of Europe and
also overseas countries, the Austrian States Archives with its documents
became one of the largest and most important archives of Europe and the
world.
