The Uppsala University Library's collection of occasional poetry consists of original copies with photocopied supplements from other libraries. The catalogue cards clarify which are originals and which are copies.
The card catalogue is available in digital form. You can order materials to the Special Reading Room through the catalogue.
The catalogue consists of two parts: in the first part you can search for the person who is the subject of the poetry and in the second for the author.
