The Steyr City Archive has been receiving personnel and financial support since 2000 from the association "Friends of the History of the City of Steyr and the Eisenwurzen Region" (ZVR number: 529533699). Their shared goal is to advance the research of the history of the city of Steyr and the Eisenwurzen region, and to rescue, permanently preserve, and make accessible the historical sources that have been passed down.
The association meets once a month for lectures on the history of Steyr and its surroundings, organizes historical film evenings, or takes excursions to museums and exhibitions. In the autumn, a history quiz takes place every year.
The membership fee is 30 euros per year for individual members. For couples, there is a reduced membership fee of 50 euros. The annual fee is used to finance the purchase of historical documents (e.g., graphics, certificates, books, photos, etc.) and archive material (e.g., boxes and envelopes), as well as the implementation of restorations.
Those interested can contact the treasurer and city archivist, Doris Hörmann. To become a member, please provide a postal address and an e-mail address to be included in the mailing list. Contact: stadtarchiv@steyr.gv.at or 07252/575-347
