Personal memories of an institution

Under the title "Universität Mozarteum - Erzählte Geschichte" (Mozarteum University - Narrated History), in-depth audio interviews have been conducted with former and current members of the university since 2012. The interest is in the interviewees' personal memories of the Mozarteum, of colleagues, of events, of special events as well as of everyday life, the building situation and more. With this oral history project, the Kunst-ARCHIV-Raum strives to create a body of testimony that provides insight into the living history of the Mozarteum.

The goal is to collect memories, impressions and experiences, and to use personal narratives as sources for the history of the Mozarteum University Salzburg.

All interviews conducted as part of the project Universität Mozarteum - Erzählte Geschichte (Mozarteum University - Narrated History) are archived in the Kunst-ARCHIV-Raum of the Mozarteum University. There, the recordings can be used by researchers as well as an interested public. The interviews are also archived by our cooperation partner MenschenLeben in the Austrian Media Library Vienna.

We would be pleased if you would make yourself available for an interview as part of the project Universität Mozarteum - Erzählte Geschichte! An informal contact meeting will be followed by an interview conducted by a member of our trained team. In the course of this, there is the opportunity to discuss your own memorabilia (photos, etc.).
