The Library will be closed between the 23rd of December 2024 and the 1st of January 2025. Our library's services will be available from the 2nd of January 2025.

Due to the relocation of our external warehouse the books and doctoral dissertations stored there, as well as the entire stock of the library's periodicals, will be unavailable until the beginning of January 2025. Many of our books are still available for loan and current literature can be found on the open shelves.

University charters and foundations

The most important legal insurance documents of the University were kept in the office of the current rector, locked in a metal box. Finally the documents were transferred to the University Library as a deposit in 1952, and after the Archives was established, the certificates were taken into its custody. Among the approxiametly hundred documents are the university's founding charter and the official documents of the foundations set up by individuals, former students, rectors and lecturers in the 19th and 20th centuries for various purposes. A detailed description of the documents can be found at http://univa.mflsz.hu/index.php/alapitolevelek-alapitvanyi-iratok.
