Rock paintings in the Northern Limestone Alps have been documented by the Austrian Federal Monuments Office and by ANISA, the Association for Alpine Research, since 2016. The documentation aims to record the almost 1,000 famous rock painting stations, which contain around 30,000 to 40,000 individual images, in a digital land register that will capture each rock painting in its state of preservation as of the documentation date and provide information on its contents. Moreover, there are plans to create a database in the future. As a temporary solution, a keyword index of the rock painting stations included will be created in Word and PDF formats. The rock painting documentation is seen as groundwork for further scientific research. Between 2016 and 2024, 950 rock painting stations were documented and 900 finding reports were created (equal to 18,000 A4 pages when printed). These were printed out for further archiving. In addition to documenting their current state, protective measures are necessary for the rock painting stations. However, those stations represent a transient cultural heritage that is jeopardized by outside influences such as weathering and human activity. Therefore, ANISA gives data only to designated specialists at the individual stations who strive to research the rock paintings and are dedicated to protecting the monuments. The visual inspection will be possible after the work is completed beginning in 2026.
