Library
The collection of manuscripts and books of Herzog Augusts d. J. von Braunschweig-Lüneburg forms the core of the Wolfenbüttel Research Library, along with a large number of other collections. As part of international medieval and early modern research, the holdings are constantly being added to. At the same time, the library is expanding access and use options.
