The documents of the Hungarian Institute of Public Administration, founded by professor Zoltán Magyary (1888–1945), an internationally renowned scholar of public administration, and Magyary's personal legacy were preserved by the Department of Public Administration Law of the Faculty of Political Science and Law of ELTE. In 2015 and 2017, ELTE and NKE concluded an agreement on the digitization and public publication of the legacy, as a result of which NKE handed over the digitized documents to the University Library and Archives in December 2023. 1 404 items can already be searched and researched in the ELTE Digital Institutional Knowledge Base, and the documents and maps will be managed by the University Archives from 2022.

According to the rector’s directive at ELTE, the full texts of scientific publications must be deposited in the university’s repository, a process supported by the University Library and Archives through the archiving of Gold Open Access publications. In the first quarter of 2025, 1,072 documents published in 2022 and an additional 298 articles published in 2024 under the Read & Publish agreement provided by EISZ were uploaded. Currently, a total of 15,281 scientific publications are accessible in the ELTE Digital Institutional Repository.

The Accessible library team of the K21 Quality Management Coordination Comittee has compiled a guide for librarians.

ELTE University Library and Archives initiated the certification process for ELTE Institutional Repository (ELTE EDIT) at Repository Qualification Commission of Hungarian Scientific Bibliography Database (MTMT). As a result, the Commission accepted the institutional archive as a certified repository.
