Österreichische Nationalbibliothek

The Österreichische Nationalbibliothek (Austrian National Library or ONB) - since 1920 the legal successor of the Imperial Court Library of the Habsburg monarchy - has over six million holdings and is the largest and most important library in the country. It is the only library that receives, according to the Austrian Law on Media, depository copies of publications from all federal provinces, and hence it has complete archives of publications appearing in Austria (including doctoral dissertations, master's theses).

Apart from the modern library, with special emphasis on the humanities, it is above all else the nine special collections, with their valuable and in many cases unique holdings, that give shelter to a considerable portion of the cultural heritage of not only Austria, but the world, and give the library its particular significance.

From 1 January 2002 the Austrian National Library will be converted into an autonomous scientific institute of the Federal State.
