ULiège Library conserves an exceptional heritage that has been under construction since the university's foundation in 1817.

You can consult the heritage collections in the following ways.


On-site

Heritage collections reading room

The heritage collection reading room makes it possible to consult:

  • old or precious documents that have been ordered from the stock;
  • documents that have been ordered from the stock, which, due to their size or state of conservation, are not available for home borrowing;
  • documents that have been ordered from other institutions via inter-library loan, where the proprietary institution does not allow home borrowing;
  • the collection of documents relating to old books, which are available through open access.

Opening hours and access

From Monday 1 July to Wednesday 14 August (closed on Thursday 15 and Friday 16), the heritage consultation room is open from 8.30am to 12.30pm and in the afternoons by appointment only.

Online

High-quality digital copies of documents from heritage collections are available online.

DONum

DONum (Dépôt d’Objets Numérisés) is a portal that hosts collections of digitised items from the collections of the various University of Liège departments. These items, which vary widely in nature (manuscripts, scientific tools or instruments, works of art, etc.), are both testaments to centuries of study and research and sources for our current researchers and students. Making these ‘items’ accessible online also enables us to establish the best possible conditions for conserving the originals.
