University Archive

Established in 1995, the University Archive preserves and records Ruhr University Bochum’s (RUB) vast historic records since the institution’s origins in the early 1960’s. On the following pages we provide information on our work, the archival holdings and in-house service for the administration. In addition, we inform about the history of RUB as well as the current university and state-wide digitalization processes the University Archive is involved in.
