Historical Collections Department Projects / Exhibitions
The indexing and cataloging of the manuscript holdings in particular is mainly carried out in third-party funded projects. The German Research Foundation (DFG) and the Baden-Württemberg Cultural Heritage Foundation are the main sponsors. The digitization of the German and Latin manuscripts of the Bibliotheca Palatina was financed by the Manfred-Lautenschläger-Stiftung gGmbH, while The Polonsky Foundation financed the digitization and cataloguing of the Greek manuscripts in this collection.

Heidelberg University Library regularly presents changing exhibitions on the important holdings of the Historical 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.
