WU University Archives

Welcome to the webpage of the Archives of Vienna University of Economics and Business (WU)!

The WU University Archives collects written and visual records documenting the history of today's Vienna University of Economics and Business (WU) and the historical institutions from which it evolved: the Imperial Export Academy (kaiserlich-königliche Export-Akademie, 1898-1919) and the University of World Trade (Hochschule für Welthandel, 1919-1975).

The WU University Archives was established in 2015 and is part of the WU University Library.

In addition to safeguarding, recording and making available the records for interested persons, the Archives conducts research on WU’s history. See for example research on Nazi-confiscated works and the Memorial Book for Victims of National Socialism at the University for World Trade 1938-1945.

The archive regulations form the basis for work within WU University Archives.
