Archives and manuscripts
The archives and manuscript collections of the Gothenburg University Library Manuscripts Section and KvinnSam include materials from private individuals and various associations - letters, journals, photographs and handwritten records. Among the oldest items are our antique papyri, and a number of Medieval manuscripts written on parchment. Many of our archives and manuscripts can be found through the Alvin database, as well as in card catalogues and inventories available at the Humanities Library.
Our archives are closed in 2028
Parts of the Humanities Library will be relocating to Arkivgatan from 2028. In order to allocate the necessary resources for the relocation of both operations and staff, our archives will be inaccesible for research from 1 January to 31 December 2028.
Please fill in our contact form, chat with us, call us or pop in to speak to us if you have any questions about the closure.
