Spot on Women: Archives Day 2025
From 5th to 18th June, the archive presented an exhibition in the foyer of the Mozarteum University showing how women were responsible for bringing about turning points in the University's history. This was a collaborative project with the Institute for Gender Studies and Equality, the City of Knowledge Salzburg and the Association of Austrian Archivists.

The exhibition opening on 5th June, which was very well attended, saw the performance of works by the first female vice-rector and senate chairwoman, as well as founder of the Institute for Equality and Gender Studies, Gertraud Gertraud Steinkogler-Wurzinger, and by Sarah Nemtzov, the second female professor of composition (after Adriana Hölszky).
Women who held top positions in university management were honoured with a statement of support that was widely signed by individuals across the community.
The exhibition highlighted individual aspects and personalities, documenting when women first graduated from the Mozarteum and in which disciplines, which women were the first to receive university professorships, and who were the first women to take on management roles. Photographs, letters, certificates and documents were on display as evidence of the first women as students, teachers, managers and decision-makers.
