Rare prints

We care for the rare and historical stock of our library. In our depositaries we have approximately 18,000 historical documents from the 15th to the 21st century. The stock is as yet not accessible to the public, and so we present it in the form of exhibitions, lectures, visits and open days. We plan to make it accessible in 2011.
