Digital Collections

The Special Collections hold primary, raw, and unfiltered sources that are used both physically and digitally in education and research, as well as by the broader public. The core of these collections consists of various monastic libraries, containing books that were mainly acquired by Jesuits during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. This Jesuit Collection primarily includes books in the fields of philosophy, history, anatomy, literature, theology, law, and the social sciences. In recent decades, various other collections have been added through donations, purchases, and bequests. Some of these have a direct connection to the province of Limburg and its history.
