Why is it necessary to register?

The registration required to use the Findbuch is based on the requests which must be submitted when registering with any of our cooperating archives. For this reason, we reserve the right to take the personal details (forename, surname, date of birth, address, organization), the purpose of the research (see Sec. 9 of the Bundesarchivgesetz [“Federal Archives Act”] and others) and a copy of a state-issued photo-ID (e.g. passport, driver’s license etc.).

The completed form and proof of identity can also be sent by fax +43 1 408 12 63 500 or by post to the National Fund of the Republic of Austria for Victims of National Socialism, Parliament, 1017 Vienna, Austria.
