Microforms

Note: A combined microfilm/microfiche reader/printer and a microfiche reader are available. However currently the printer function is not available. Due to maintenance problems (no local service firm is available), functionality of the machinery cannot always be guaranteed.

Please ask for technical assistance from the staff.

(Almost) all microforms are kept in three consecutively numbered series, regardless of whether they are additionally registered as private accessions, library material, or archives. These series are:
