Abstrakt: Although recent national research has drawn attention to the critical function of emails in Austrian administration, Austrian public archives have not approached email archiving yet. This paper aims to provide the Austrian archival community a starting point for the imple- mentation of email archiving by investigating the process of capture, as basis for successful digital archiving. By using the Upper Austrian State Archive as a case study and employing a qualitative approach, it examines and evaluates current practice in the appraisal and selection of government emails in order to identify conceptual characteristics specific to an Austrian context and reflect on practical issues that must be considered across the life cycle of Austrian government emails.
