Collections and heritage

On the Unithèque site, find the documentary resources you need to support your university studies. Our collections specialise in the human and social sciences, and have been created under the responsibility of a team of academic librarians.

We also look after collections of rare books relating to our history and heritage. These can be made available to you in a dedicated reading room by the Manuscripts Department and Rare Books Collections. We have also recently created a section dedicated to important illustrated works.
