The ELTE University Library and Archives will be closed between the 27th and the 30th of April 2024 due to technical reasons.
The university almanacs, yearbooks contain the name and other personal information of the institution’s employee, professors and students’. The almacs of Eötvös Loránd University have survived from 1830 to 1992/93 semester. Data from almanacs are very valuable, as they are the only sources from the 19th century that have preserved the list of students enrolled in the university.
An important part of the work of the archives is the issuance of academic certificates. Customers can send us their requests in letter, e-mail or in person during the opening hours of the archives.
