Historical Collections Department Projects / Exhibitions
The indexing and cataloguing of the holdings, especially the manuscripts, is largely carried out in projects financed by third parties. The main sponsors here are the German Research Foundation (DFG) and the Stiftung Kulturgut Baden-Württemberg. The digitisation of the German and Latin manuscripts of the Bibliotheca Palatina was financed by the Manfred-Lautenschläger-Stiftung gGmbH, while The Polonsky Foundation provided the funding for the digitisation and cataloguing of the Greek manuscripts in this collection.

Exhibitions
Heidelberg University Library regularly presents changing exhibitions on the famous holdings of the Special Collections, some of which are created in cooperation with institutes at Heidelberg University. In the corridors of the library, current projects, among other things, are presented in smaller showcase exhibitions.
The exhibition rooms on the 1st floor of the old building are closed until further notice due to renovation and refurbishment work.
