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.

Jesuit Missions in the Early Modern Period – The new library calendar is now available

The 2023 calendar of the ELTE University Library and Archives presents the Jesuit missions of the early modern period through some of the library's museum publications.

The pages of the calendar offer an insight into the diversity of our collections and cultural assets, and pay tribute to the 300th anniversary of the birth of George Pray. As the founder of Hungarian critical historiography and director of the University Library, the Jesuit monk also enriched the library's holdings with his private collection, which we keep as a treasure in our manuscript archive. An electronic version of the calendar is available here.

The representative wall calendar was published under the management of the Prime Minister’s Office, with the support of the National Cooperation Fund, the Bethlen Gábor Fund Management Ltd. and the Foundation for the University Library.  

For information about the support options of the Foundation for the University Library, please, visit our website. More details about our book adoption program can be found here!
