The development of the university library into a modern institution

From the re-establishment in 1777 to the relocation into the Main Building on the Ring

The University Library’s transformation into a modern institution began in the 1770s with the expansion of the inventory and the inauguration of the adapted library premises in the former Academic College. In the 19th century it then became a cornerstone of the academic activities in regard to research, teaching and study, over time picking up modern innovations and the gradual democratization of knowledge.
