By a circuitous route, papers comprising Marie Hoheisel's "literary legacy" came into the possession of the Vienna Public Library and were transferred to the public archives at the City Hall in 2013. The resulting archive incorporates approximately 500 hand-written and typed documents that she produced, mostly during the period 1928-1936. Along with texts by Hoheisel, the archive contains written material from other feminist activist of the time, providing insights into the workings of the feminist network in Austria and internationally. The public accessibility of the archive has opened the way to a wider appreciation of a women's rights activists whose contribution had been largely overlooked during the Nazi years and in the turmoil generated by the war and its politically charged aftermath.
