Collection stories
News, interesting facts and stories from over 80 collection portals - we report regularly from our collections.
Collection portals are information spaces
They provide information about
-
how a collection reached us,
-
why a particular subject was important to collectors and
-
how extensive the book collection is.
This gives students, researchers and interested members of the public important information about their research areas.
Our collection portals have already provided the impetus for research projects, and enquiries from abroad show that this library collection is also internationally recognised.
Of course, the collections can also be searched "normally" via the Colongne University Catalogue.
