The Regional Archives of Maribor organises international research camps on the Slovene-Hungarian border and exhibits selected archival records. An international professional meeting is organised annually at Radenci. Two employees of the Archives are members of the ICA Committee on Archival Buildings and Equipment and one is a member of the ICA Committee on Electronic and other Current Records.
The Library of the Regional Archives of Maribor has over 13,000 inventory units and offers services to employees of the archives sector as well as to visitors to the reading room.
Building special databases, exchanging experience in archival preservation and developing E-archives are major areas of interest.
There are also two exhibition spaces: Archivum is 66 square metres with 30 linear metres of wall space, while Hades is 42 square metres with 18 linear metres of wall space.
