Special and historical collections of books and manuscripts

The special and historical collections comprise 26 separate collections (see overview, soon available in English: https://vu.nl/nl/over-de-vu/meer-over/zwaartepunten).
Focal points include Reformation prints, English prints, pamphlets and portraits.
