Historical book collections

We support owners of historical book collections

Even smaller, non-governmental libraries in the administrative districts of Cologne and Düsseldorf that do not have specialist libraries keep historical book collections. The Landesbibliothekarische Arbeitsstelle "Historische Bestände im Rheinland" advises and supports their owners.

You will find an overview of the history and holdings of our library up to 1991 in the Handbuch der Historischen Buchbestände
