This LibGuide offers an overview of printed historical sources. The University Library of Groningen owns a collection of printed sources held in the closed stacks and on the open shelves in the study rooms. Another part of the historical sources collection is available online.

To help you find your way in this collection we have brought together the most important sources in this LibGuide, sorted by historical period. 

In addition, you can find information about the collection of auxiliary sciences in History of the University Library of Groningen.

This LibGuide was put together by Information Specialists of the University Library in cooperation with the University's History Department staff.

Below you see the links to the separate chapters on historical sources for a specific period or subject.

You can also go to the chapters by clicking on the tabs in the red banner at the top of this page.
