The Archives (founded in 1998) is responsible for the documents related to the Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design (MOME), its legal predecessors (Hungarian Royal Institute/Academy/College/University of Arts and Crafts), all of its organisational units and teachers. The records kept there amounts 80 linear meters, 63 fonds. The documents of the Central Office dated from the 1880s up to the middle of the 1970s with a few gaps, while the registers of the students have remained completely. The structure of the Archives was evolved in 2000. One of the repositories and the research room was totally reconstructed in 2010. Following this, the conditions of research and care of records were improved enormously. Printed and e-guides of the collection have been written as well. The MOME Archives is the first among the university archives with possessing a database created on register books of the students. The printed version of the database has been published under the title: A Magyar Iparművészeti Egyetem hallgatói 1880 – 2004 [Students of the Hungarian University of Art and Design, 1880-2004]. The publication of series of the documents kept in the Archives got started in 2004. The first two volumes have been already printed and other two are available as e-books. The digitalised ones are available here: http://konyvtar.mome.hu/leveltar/
