About us
The Media and Information Centre MIZ combines ZHdK's library and archives. It was created in 2007 when the libraries and documentation centres of the former Hochschule für Gestaltung HGKZ (University for Design) and the Hochschule Musik und Theater HMT (University of Music and Theatre) merged to form the Zürcher Hochschule der Künste (Zurich University of the Arts). It holds around 300,000 media, documents and objects.
As a public specialist library, MIZ offers an extensive archive of analogue and digital media covering all of the university's courses of study.
In the Toni Campus shared by Zürcher Hochschule der Künste and the Zürcher Hochschule für Angewandte Wissenschaften (Zurich University of Applied Sciences), the Media and Information centre MIZ and the ZHAW Hochschulbibliothek Zürich (Zurich University Library ZHAW) form the central location for media, learning and research as the "Bibliotheken und Archive" ("libraries and archives").
