The ORF archive contains over 700,000 hours of film and video material and over 500,000 hours of audio material and is the largest archive of its kind in Austria. The collection is constantly growing: old material is being digitized on an ongoing basis. Head of the multimedia archive is Herbert Hayduck, interviewed here.

The ORF Act still restricts the possibilities of making content publicly accessible. At some Austrian universities, however, there are search and access options for research. ORF ON publishes archive holdings organized by topic in the "ORF Archive" tab, including on Austria's contemporary and cultural history. ORF ON's predecessor, ORF-TVthek, already had some archives online in 2023.
