Gimo Collection, Italian copies of music scores from the middle of the 18th century, digitised

Digital collections

Thanks to requests for digital copies and ongoing digitization projects, the digital collections are expanding every day.

A selection of digitised works and collections

A selection of digitised works and collections from Uppsala University Library, of which most are available through Alvin - our platform for digital collections and digitised cultural heritage. The purpose of the Alvin platform is to preserve and make digitised collections available, but the database is also a catalogue of materials not yet digitised. All digitised materials in Alvin are made free to download and use.
