Availability times for manuscripts and early printed books

Due to the low temperatures in the stacks of the Gotha Research Library at the University of Erfurt at this time of year, it is necessary, for conservation reasons, to acclimatise requested items before they are used.

Therefore, from Monday 2 November 2026 until further notice, a retrieval time of several hours will apply to manuscripts and printed works published before 1850:

  • Orders placed by 9.00 am: available for use from 3.30 pm;
  • Orders placed from 9.00 am: available for use the following day.

We ask for your understanding and cooperation.
