Printed catalogues and card catalogues
A small part of the material available at the Leiden university libraries has not yet been included in the Catalogue. It concerns mainly old material, such as early printed books, manuscripts and auction catalogues. For this material we advise you to consult one of the printed catalogues. A biography of these catalogues is available online.
