The Viennese historical holdings contain over 4000 recordings of mainly ethnolinguistic and ethnomusicological nature. It contains, among others, recordings made of Guarani-natives by botanic Richard Wettstein, recordings of the Kalahari Khoisan collected in New Guinea by anthropologist Rudolf Pöch, and recordings of celtic minorities and basques by Rudolf Trebitsch.
