Visiting the IAEA Archives

The IAEA Archives is located at the Agency’s Headquarters at the Vienna International Centre. The IAEA’s archival records can be consulted by public visitors in the Archives’ reading room.

The Vienna International Centre has access restrictions for public visitors and visits to the IAEA Archives can only take place by prior appointment. All visitors to the Vienna International Centre have to present a valid photo ID and undergo security checks and formal registration procedures. Researchers visiting the Archives are required to submit additional documentation (a completed research form, signed reading room protocol, and letter of support) in order to have their visit approved. This documentation should be submitted at least one month in advance of the proposed visit. We kindly request anyone who wishes to consult archival records to e-mail the Archives’ contact point, in the first instance, with details of their research request and the dates of their planned visit.

Please send an inquiry to the IAEA Archives using the official contact form.
