Catalogs

Only few percents of all manuscripts held within WUL’s collections have printed, published mainly in 19th and 20th century, catalog descriptions, often of very different value. To make access to them easier and to help with processing of collection, register of publications regarding manuscripts held in Manuscripts Department is maintained. Great help provides handwritten catalogs of manuscripts.
