You can inform about our catalogized collection in our on-line library database. Because of the structure of the musem, that is separated into different buildings, our collection is separated too (for more information about the structure of the library, please visit the "about us" page). That is why we suggest that before you visit the library to get your articles or books, please send us an e-mail with your requests. Thank you! Please pay attention that you must check-in in advance if you would like to read a document which is published before 1850!

Our on-line article service is getting more and more popular nowadays. To download your requested articles please use the "on-line storage" link on the main page! We accept requests personally or through e-mail too. After the scanning we upload the articles in pdf format to our on-line storage. You will get the download password via e-mail. We DO NOT take requests to scan full books or other documents because of copyrights! It's cost 20 HUF / page + the postal cost of the bill!

Xerox service. You can request normal xerox copy too if you prefer it instead of a pdf document. It's cost 20 HUF / page + the postal cost of the bill!

Publications marketing

You can find our published books and periodicals list on the "periodicals" page. If you order a publication you will find the attached bill in the package and you can pay by wire. At present there is no possibility to pay via credit card or cheque, please exercise patience about this.
