Our Special Collections - a Treasure


The library contains unique collections of valuable materials, a.o. historical photographs from all over Norway, with a special emphasis on Bergen and Western Norway. We also have hand-written manuscripts dating back to the 13th century, as well as antiquarian books, maps and newspapers.
