The Dag Hammarskjöld Library is a special library within the Uppsala University Library dedicated to international relations:

  • Political Science
  • Peace and Conflict Research
  • International Law and Human Rights
  • Post-war History
  • Global economic and social issues
  • Euroasian Studies
  • Development Studies
  • Swedish deposit library for the United Nations

The library is open to the public but its principal target groups are researchers, lecturers and students in these subject areas.

The Dag Hammarskjöld Library was founded in 1966 as a permanent memorial in honour of Dag Hammarskjöld, the General Secretary of the United Nations between 1953-1961.

Ever since its inauguration the Dag Hammarskjöld Library has been a national depository library for the United Nations and as a result it is a recipient of the collections of UN documents. The Dag Hammarskjöld Library is the biggest UN library in the Nordic countries and holds complete collections of UN documents and reports in print and in electronic versions.
