Temporary closure: The ELTE University Library and Archives will be closed from January 25, 2025 (Saturday) to February 8, 2025 (Saturday).
Due to the relocation of our external warehouse the books and doctoral dissertations stored there, as well as the entire stock of the library's periodicals, will be unavailable until the end of January 2025. Many of our books are still available for loan and current literature can be found on the open shelves.

Czuczor-Fogarasi (1862–1874) has not heard of this conception yet. [Name of the dictionary of the hungarian language in 1862–1874.] The Pallas (1893–1897) [another dictionary] writes about it as an important part of the mail history, mentioning the invention’s path from London to Paris, Berlin and New York. As for its use in Budapest: it will not happen as long as the costs are this high, and the diameter of the tube so small, thus not being profitable enough. The Pallas adds that Budapest wants to follow the French example of a centrally controlled post service.
