The legal foundation for using the University of Bamberg’s archives is laid down in the Bavarian Archive Act (BayArchivG), the terms of use and the fee schedule.

Archival resources can be used by all persons who can claim a credible interest. A national ID card or student or employee identification must be presented when submitting a request for use. Materials may only be viewed in the university archives.

Use by way of request, research assignment and the creation of photocopies is possible according to the provisions of the legal foundations. Unfortunately, owing to preservation concerns, self-service is not possible. Copying and photography orders must be made in writing, and fees must be borne by those persons who submit an order. As a rule, entire record units may not be copied.

WIFI (eduroam, BayernWLAN) is available in the reading room.
