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.

The Cultural Heritage Day in the ELTE University Library and Archives was a great success

The library intended to draw attention to the protection of our cultural values ​​and the preservation of our built heritage with our event organized in the University Library and Archives of Eötvös Loránd University within the framework of this year's Cultural Heritage Days.

As the opening of our program series, from 11.00 a.m. the audience could attend the harp concert by Klára Bábel entitled Sounds of Silence. A chamber exhibition of our museum documents related to the cities and culture of the CHARM-EU (Challenge-driven, Accessible, Research-based, Mobile European University) European University Association was opened, which can be visited on weekdays from 10.00 to 15.00 until 10 June 2024.  Lovers of books, science and the arts can take a tour of the library's architectural and historical wonders and the rooms of its historic building, learn about the process of book restoration, some of the special items in our museum collection and the life and work of Loránd Eötvös. The major events in the history of our University were also explored in our exhibition entitled Book, Robe, Science – Symbols from the History of Eötvös Loránd University. During our events, our guests were able to make unique, hardcover handicraft books, and calligrapher Dezső Buzogány introduced the art of calligraphy.

We will close our series of events with a concert entitled „In a Hundred Versions” - Tamás Cseh’s songs performed by János Bárth. All visitors are also welcome to our Autumn Festival of Museums.
