History

The Salzburg Landesarchiv maintains a history of over 1200 years. The centralization of all remaining Salzburg collections occurred through the founding of the Zentralregistratur, after Salzburg was incorporated into Austria. The modern Salzburg Archives considers the establishment of their permanent office in 1875 as the actual date of establishment.

Archival and Other Holdings

The holdings of the Salzburger Landesarchiv are divided into four major collections: Historisches Archiv (until 1850), Zentralregistratur (from 1850), Collections, and individual records (Nachlässe). The collections overview indicates the presence of documents of the Nazi period, for example "Reichstatthalter-akten 1938-1945," Reich governor documents. Among others contains restitution- and/or compensation-related materials: 1. Opferfürsorge-Akten Salzburg (deceased applicants); 2. Landesgerichtsakten, Rueckstellungskommission; closed files; restriction: retention period of 100 years, access is permitted for scientific projects; for Landesgerichtsakten
