Special collections

Digitised EUI collections

The EUI collections that have have been digitised so far are:

• Agence Europe Bulletin Quotidien Europe 1953-1999 (French), and Europe Daily Bulletin 1979-1999 (English)
• EUI Working Papers (European University Institute, 1981 and 2000)
• EUI monographs
• European Trade Union Institute Studies
• Assembly Proceedings (Western European Union) 

Even though the copyright law currently in place forbids the Library from doing a massive digitisation of older materials, including out of print publications, the Library has either digitised what was somehow already in the public domain or in agreement with copyright holders. 

Diplomatic Documents

This collection is dealing with printed Foreign Relations Documents published by some European countries and the USA. Diplomatic Documents are available as books and microforms in the EUI Library. Some series of documents are accessible within remote databases subscribed by the EUI and in remote public websites.

EUI Published PhD theses

EUI PhD theses are often published as books by their authors, and the Library purchases these books in paper or electronic form. Check out the published theses under the collection Published EUI PhD theses.
Cadmus, the EUI research repository, also lists published theses.

European Documentation Centre

Given the European emphasis of the research carried out in the EUI the EDC naturally forms a pivotal part of the Library.

Gift Collections

Book donations are dealt with in three different ways: Open Access collections, off-site storage and discarded material.
