Archive for Contemporary History at ETH Zurich

The Archive for Contemporary History at ETH Zurich collects privately owned written, audio and visual documents on the history of Switzerland from the late 19th century to the present day and makes these historical sources publicly accessible.


With the safeguarding and maintenance of Swiss cultural assets, it performs a task of national importance as part of the strategic orientation of the ETH Zurich and, as a so-called special archive, complements the formation of state traditions.
