Summary/Abstract: As we look at the last ten years of archives building construction, we can see the following trends: in Klagenfurt (Federal Land Kernten) and St. Polten (Federal State of Lower Austria), apart from the Austrian state archive, built entirely new archives that are correspond to archival scientific literature. In the Innsbruck (Federal Land of Tyrol), Graz (Federal Land of Stajerska) and Vienna, existing buildings, with minor or greater adaptations, were adapted for archival purposes. In archives that can’t reach daylight and which are located in the interior, it is necessary to install climate control, while in those buildings with windows, according to climatic conditions, this area can apply natural air conditioning. Due to its location and functionality, the Styrian archive of history showed itself as a successful combination between a new, functional central depot and an adapted historical monastery.
