Use of items

To make use of the facilities of the Department of Music you need a valid ID with a photo and a client card of the Austrian National Library. The Department of Music is basically a non-lending library.

Use of the original manuscripts is on grounds of conservation possible only in a limited way. A maximum of 5 objects a day can be issued.

Reproductions

Making copies of secondary literature is possible after prior arrangement, using a coin copier, if there is no problem from the point of view of conservation. Copies of secondary literature done by the staff can be collected 2 – 3 work days later.

For reproduction of manuscripts scans, microfilm, and photographs can be handed over to us.
