Manuscripts & Archives
Lund University Library stocks large collections of unprinted material; so-called manuscripts and archives. The main part consists of private archives, very often with collections of personal letters. You can search the collections with the aid of manuscript catalogues available in the library, but there are also search possibilities on the net.
This register of archives lists our archive collections of individuals, families and societies.
