Spital certificates in the virtual archive

The archive of the Bürgerspital St. Katharina preserves an essential part of the written cultural heritage of Regensburg. With 5,000 imperial, papal and private documents, 4,500 volumes and thousands of files and plans, it dates back to the 12th century. Fireproof vaults and heavy iron doors protected the archive material over the centuries from the effects of war and fire. Under the supervision of the cathedral chapter and the city council, an archive stock unique in the German-speaking world was preserved. When imperial archivist Franz Joseph von Samet visited the Katharinenspital in 1812, he discovered there, in his own words, a veritable treasure of documents.

The hospital certificates can now be found in the virtual archive of www.monasterium.net.

The Regensburg University Library acquires literature on all aspects of history. The main focus is on current study and research literature. Textbooks and reference works ( lexica, encyclopaedias, handbooks, language dictionaries) on all sub-disciplines of history represented at the University Library are acquired, as well as literature on research foci at the University and monographs on important individual topics.

The conventional literature is increasingly supplemented by electronic media. The University Library offers access to more than 3,200 electronic journals (yellow and green dot in the Electronic Journals Library?EZB)?and to a large number of literature databases (e.g. " Archive in Bayern"/Archives in Bavaria, "Aufsatzdatenbank Osteuropa"/Article Database Eastern Europe, "Bibliographie faksimilierter Handschriften"/bibliography of facsimile manuscripts, "Clio Online", "Historical Abstracts", "Zeitschriftenschau Geschichte"/journal show history) in the field of history.
