The sustainability goals of the United Nations (SDG) form the basis for the UniArchiv's actions.


Fair

Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Re-usable - transparency and participation are two guiding principles for the evaluation of documents and their utilization. The UniArchive's measures include:

- Transmission on the basis of a documentation profile
- Easily accessible indexing
- Publication of finding aids and their linking to the Common Authority File (GND)

Relevant

"Yesterday for today and tomorrow" - the examination of social challenges is one of the hallmarks of the University of Kassel.
