Guest seminars

Seminar participants from all history-related disciplines will have the opportunity to spend several days working with old printed works and occasionally with manuscripts. This allows them to familiarise themselves with the original sources and determine their condition and how they should be handled.

In addition to its holdings, the HAB also provides the required room facilities and technical devices, while making its infrastructure available and offering support on library-related matters.
