Partnerships & Network
Making History Visible Together
Our archive is not only a place of preservation, but also an active part of a growing network of partners from academia, education, culture, media, and civil society.
We collaborate with:
- Universities and research institutions that use our holdings for projects related to economic, social or architectural history
- Museums and exhibition venues that use our sources for presentations or multimedia formats
- Journalists and authors who seek reliable sources and well-contextualised information
- Educational institutions and schools that aim to teach history in a vivid and practice-oriented way.
- The financial education projects Erste Financial Life Park at Erste Campus, FLiP at CoSA Graz and FLiP Carinthia in Klagenfurt
- Contact Erste Group Art Collection and Erste Foundation
We contribute expertise, materials, and educational know-how – whether by providing sources, offering advice, participating in exhibitions, or collaborating on joint publications.
