The Customer Service of the National Archives addresses inquiries from both the state administration and the public. We look forward to providing you with further information about our archival records or helping you plan your next visit. In our Research Library we also provide literature about Liechtenstein and the region, as well as on the subjects of information and archival sciences.

The National Archives advises the government, public administration, parliament, and judiciary on the transfer of records to the National Archives. Documents designated for disposal are assessed for their archival value and are either acquired by the National Archives or discarded. Additionally, we support individuals, as well as associations and organisations, in establishing and maintaining their archives.

In order to make archival records accessible we are dedicated to the description and processing of the archival materials. By organising, indexing and describing these materials, they are made accessible via the archive database. In addition, the National Archives are committed to the preservation of these archives, by ensuring that they remain in good condition for a very long time.

Within the National Archives, the Technical Services department is responsible for managing the audiovisual collection, which includes photographs, films, and sound recordings in particular. We also produce digital copies on customer request and we make a valuable contribution to the preservation of the collection by filming and digitizing selected holdings.
