Use

The client card of the Austrian National Library is valid in the Picture Archives too. All of the objects and books in the collection can be ordered and inspected as long as there are no objections on conservation grounds. Collection items and books that are ordered are as a rule ready for inspection the next day.

Reproductions

Scans in various sizes of the collection objects in the Picture Archives can be ordered, and elaborations of them done. Coloured slides can be borrowed for a fee. If a picture is to be used for publication in some work, you must pay for that use a fee fixed by the current scale of tariffs set by the Asustrian National Library.
