The State of Vorarlberg on the Internet

The State Archives of Vorarlberg (founded 1898) can be seen as a scientific institute which provides a service for public administration and for all those interested in the history, geography and culture of the region.

The State Archives of Vorarlberg are in charge of approximately 12,000 m of written material.

„Forschungen zur Geschichte Vorarlbergs“ is only one of the series published by the State Archives of Vorarlberg.

In 1897, the proposal to transfer important documents on the history of Vorarlberg to Innsbruck came under discussion.

All records older than 50 years in the state archives are accessible to the general public on condition that any restrictions regarding personal data are taken into consideration.
