The online database of the University History Collection of Pécs is now available
The University History Collection of Pécs – which is under the care of
the Historical Collection Department of the Central Library – is the collection
of various historical objects, documents and photographic material relating to
the University of Pécs and the institutions of its legal predecessor. The
department’s task is the collection, preservation and processing of these
materials, ensuring their availability and growth. The time frame of the
collection dates from the end of the 19th century to the present day. The
history collection includes many curiosities that are rather unique in
Hungarian museum collections.
Nowadays, it is important for a museum collection to be available to
the public in online form as well, because this way the collection becomes
known not only locally but also nationally. The collection is constantly
expanding.
The following collections are available in the database:
1. Original, archival photo collection
2. Repository photo collection (photocopies)
3. Collection of historical objects (goblets, clothing, other objects, etc.)
4. Numismatic collection (medals, plaques, awards, badges, etc.)
5. Document collection (paper and digital documents)
6. Postcard collection (separate, highlighted part of the document collection, Reuter postcards)
7. Mechanical and technical history collection (tools, equipment)
