Legal deposit - Dépôt légal

The deposit of so-called “library copies” continues to serve a cultural need today. The aim of this law is to ensure the complete documentation, as far as possible, of published work in Austria. A legal deposit regulation for the Austrian National Library (formerly the Court Library) has demonstrably existed since 1569.
