How to use the Special collections

Uppsala University Library can offer students and researchers very valuable and rare special collections. During the long history of the Library, large collections have been built up through donations, spoils of war, duty deliveries and purchases. The special collections are today considered as cultural heritage, which includes old prints, manuscripts, images, maps and musicalia. Thanks to requests for digital copies, more and more materials are being digitised and available online. Before you make a request, search for the materials in Alvin – platform for digital collections and digitised cultural heritage.

Materials printed before 1850 or that are a part of our special collections, such as manuscripts, pictures and maps, may only be studied at Carolina Rediviva. Please plan your visit so that we may help you in the best way possible.
