Your library card for the Austrian National Library also gives you access to the Picture Archives. Here you can order any item or book in the collection and – provided there are no special conservation restrictions – you will normally be able to look at it the next day in the Department's reading rooms.
You can use our catalogue QuickSearch and our database and ONB Digital to search our holdings online.
Our experts will be pleased to help you with your research. They do not charge for providing basic information or dealing with search requests that take up to 30 minutes. For a fee, you can request a search for images on subjects of your choice.
If you require scans of items in our collection, you can request these from Customer Services. If you wish to use an image for publication purposes, we charge a usage fee according to our current tariff regulations.
Please send requests for loans, stating the items you require (if possible with reference numbers), in writing directly to our Department Director. Please give the name of the borrowing organisation and the title, location and duration of the exhibition. You can find the terms and conditions and charges here.
If you have any questions, we will be pleased to help on tel. no.: +43 (1) 534 10 – ext. 328, 329 or bildarchiv[at]onb.ac.at
