Vienna

The library of the Austrian Archaeological Institute (OeAI) in Vienna is the largest specialist archaeological library in Austria. By merging the holdings of the Departments of Classical Studies, Historical Archaeology and Prehistory & WANA Archaeology, the library currently comprises around 70,000 volumes, including numerous specialist journals and series. The collection is also enriched by a considerable number of permanent loans from the Austrian Academy of Sciences BAS:IS - Library, Archive, Collections: Information & Service.

The focus of the collection is broadly diversified. It includes the fields of classical archaeology, epigraphy, numismatics and monetary history, Egyptology, prehistory and historical archaeology. Separate areas are dedicated to conservation and cultural heritage, geo- and bioarchaeology and archaeometry.
