We are currently working at capacity due to great demand. Thus, there may be some minor delays in processing all incoming requests. Since our technical hardware is also affected by this, we are temporarily unable to offer scanning as part of our reference services.

Reference Services of the University Archive
The University Archive’s reference services are free of charge and available to everyone – not only to members of the university.
After having finalized your research beforehand you may request our reference services. We try to reply to all requests as effectively as possible and allow access to our holdings if no retention periods apply otherwise.
Currently, browsing through archive holdings' indexes is possible only on-site at the University Archive. There is a user PC for this purpose available. In the future, research of our holdings will be possible via digital interface on our website.
Please note: If you would like to browse through the holdings and/or wish to refer to documents of our holdings, it is mandatory to arrange a date with us. Please send your requests via e-mail at:
