Extract

The Verkehrsarchiv (transportation archive) grew out of the last central archive created in the Habsburg monarchy, the Eisenbahnarchiv (railway archive), which had been founded in 1897 in connection with the separate ministry for railways established under Minister-President Kasimierz Badeni. Various changes in the powers and duties of several ministries immediately after 1918 led to the transformation of the Eisenbahnarchiv into a Verkehrsarchiv which, in turn, was incorporated in 1947 into the Austrian state archive as a separate division.
