Dear Readers! 
Please note that, in accordance with epidemiological regulations, we can only offer research facilities in our special collection reading rooms after booking a place and time slot in advance. 
We kindly ask you to make your reservation at least 24 hours before your planned visit, if possible. If you are unable to come despite your reservation, please let us know so that we can make the appointment available to someone else.
We will respond to all booking requests, but out-of-hours emails will only be processed on the next opening day, so we kindly ask for your patience. Please include your telephone contact details in your e-mail enquiry, if possible, so that our staff can contact you more easily in the event of a double-booking.
