The Manuscript and Rarity Collection of the University Library, with the rich collection of several disciplines - since its separation inside the library in the XIX. century - is an important academic and research facility of the cultural history in Hungary and Europe.
The collection as part of the European cultural heritage documented the history of a complicated cultural region. The relatively large, extremely valuable manuscript and rarities database cannot be avoided by international researches either. The library, which has become the indispensable part of the university, has not only collected and preserves a significant amount of knowledge and data essential to the understanding of natural and human sciences but plays a daily role in the awareness of the cultural history of the Hungarian society as the manifestation of cultural memory.
