Adopt an old Hungarian book!
Following the example of great European and American libraries the ELTE University Library decided to start its own adopt-a-book programme. Donations are spent on conservation, restoration and digitalization of rare books and special collections (including manuscripts, incunabula, maps, etc.), therefore the unique worldwide known collection of old books can be preserved for the next generations. Our supporters can attend a special book presentation after the restauration of the adopted book.
Donation can be made by an individual, private institutions, as well as public organisations.
If you are interested to support our work please contact us: konyvorokbe@lib.elte.hu
