... so that it will be remembered

📅 Friday, 27 June 2025

🕑 14:00 - 17:00

📍 Schallaburg Castle, 3382 Schallaburg

🎟 Admission free after registration

The Topotheque, the Kulturverbund Region Melk and the BHW Schallaburg cordially invite you to the Topotheque Day.

The Topotheques, of which there are almost 270 in Lower Austria, are an essential part of regional and local history research. In co-operation with the population and under the responsibility of the municipalities, contemporary historical sources are made visible and searchable online.

This afternoon serves as an opportunity for topothecarians to share their experiences. It will also provide an in-depth insight into the services offered by the Topotheque - with news on the development of the Topotheque and practical tips for working with it.

Speakers:

Dr Gerhard Floßmann

Alexander Schatek
