The Archive was founded in 2016 by Iván Angelus and is maintained by the Új Előadóművészeti Alapítvány (New Performing Arts Foundation). Within the framework of the Archive, the documents of the College and its professional-pedagogical predecessor institutions are organised, digitised, published and made accessible for research. The professional head of the Archive is Petra Péter. Lívia Fuchs, dance historian, assists the work as a professional advisor.

The archival materials are documents of events and institutions related to the professional activities of Iván Angelus. These are materials related to his work in the field of contemporary dance from 1979, when the Új Tánc Klub (New Dance Club) was founded. The institutions involved are:

• Új Tánc Klub (New Dance Club) (1979–1986)
• Kreatív Mozgás Stúdió (Creative Movement Studio) (1983–1999),
• Modern Tánciskola (Modern Dance School) (1990–1991),
