Specialist for Media and Information Services - Archive

Specialists for media and information services specializing in archives don’t just pile books up. To ensure that the constantly arriving information in the archive does not accumulate too much, they regularly organize and record it.  

I especially appreciate my trainer and the friendly colleagues. I am glad to be able to contribute to preserving the historical memory of the university.
