SUMMARY
In the 19th century archives and ofcial departments began to think about the protection of archival
material. 1894 the archival council was installed.
One of the most important tasks of this council was
the question of archival protection. The head of the
archival council, later on called archival department
was the general director of the State Archives of
Austria. He is still responsible for this matter. In
1923 the legislation for protection of monuments
was erased, including in 24 and 25 protection of
archival material, the law was renewed in 1999. If
private documents are of public interest they are under protection and cannot be sold or destroyed. But
legislation for protection of monuments does not regulate the access to private archives and the State
Archives do not have any complete lists about all
private archives which exist in Austria.The second
part deals with archival legislation and private archives or privatized sectors. On the one side public
archives take over private archives on the other side
they give advices to private archive holders how to
keep the records, to keep them in optimized climate
conditions and they help them to assess the records.
