With the establishment of the Centre for OSCE Research, an OSCE Depository Library was set up within the framework of the IFSH library in which the most important OSCE documents are retained.

Its current inventory includes i. a.: Journals of the OSCE Permanent Council since the beginning of 1995, Background Papers from the Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights, Journals of the Forum for Security Co-operation since 1999 as well as the Secretary General's Annual Reports since 1993, numerous OSCE pamphlets such as OSCE Newsletters (since 1994), a compilation of CSCE/OSCE Decisions since 1994 and the Official Verbatim Records of CSCE/OSCE Summit Meetings of Heads of State or Government. In addition, there are a number of brochures on other OSCE institutions (e.g. the High Commissioner on National Minorities, the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly). A CD-Rom issued by the OSCE containing a compilation of numerous CSCE/OSCE documents from 1973 to 1997 completes the collections. This repository of significant OSCE documents is continually augmented.

In addition, there is literature available on the OSCE itself (Yearbooks, Handbooks) as well as books with a focus on nation building, nationalism and majority-minority relationships in the European and Central Asian OSCE countries.
