Museum conservation acquisitions

The main task of the ELTE Heritage Coordination is the preservation and protection of our cultural heritage. To this purpose, various tools and equipment have been purchased for eight departments in 2024.

The purchases included: 500 paper bags for manuscripts, fragments, diplomas and other documents, 600 acid-free archival boxes for documents, 13 bookends for books, 8 individual acid-free boxes for museum books, 30 protective gloves, 8 digital thermo-hygrometers, 100 archive paper boxes, 6 foam wedges for books, 15 different sized photo boxes for pre-1950 photographs, 3 leatherette boxes with university coat of arms for storing and transporting dean’s chains and 100 mineral storage boxes. With the help of a grant from the National Cultural Fund, the restoration of the University History Collection, which includes three caps, two medallions and three ribbons from the former university uniforms, was completed.
