The Department of Special Collections forms part of the University Library of Bergen (Universitetsbiblioteket i Bergen), itself a continuation of Bergen Museum's Library, founded in 1825 — making it one of Norway's oldest research libraries. When the University of Bergen was formally established and its University Library founded in 1948, the manuscript, rare book, map, and photograph collections already assembled at the Museum's library were transferred to the new institution and constitute the historical core of the Special Collections today. The Department is located at the Humanities Library in HF-bygget, Sydnesplassen 7, Bergen.
The Department comprises four major collections:
The Manuscript and Rare Book Collection holds large collections of local, regional, and national newspapers in both original and microfilm form, making it a valuable resource for historical press research. The Picture Collection contains extensive photojournalistic and documentary photography.
The Manuscript and Rare Book Collection is open Monday–Thursday, 10:00–14:00, by appointment. Digital material is accessible via marcus.uib.no.
