General

In the „Digital Collections“ you will find historical materials from the holdings of the University Library as well as its cooperation partners (University Archives, institutes, private collections, etc.).
We are gradually digitizing architectural drawings, photographs, old prints, journals, archival materials, and objects and making them available for free use under a persistent URL.
