ETH-Bibliothek – Wikipedia

The Wikipedia entry on the ETH Library also includes a section on its history: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/ETH-Bib...

A downloadable resource is Die ersten Jahrzehnte der ETH-Bibliothek (The First Decades of the ETH Library) by Beat Glaus (1994), available in the Research Collection: doi.org/10.3929/ethz...

You can find details in several sources:

The publication Blättern & Browsen – 150 Jahre ETH-Bibliothek (150 Years of the ETH Library) was created for an exhibition in 2005, but unfortunately, it is not available digitally: eth.swisscovery.slsp.ch/permalink/41...

Hello, and thank you for your interest! While our website covers many aspects of our services and collections, it may not cover the library's full history. I will need to check with the university archives to see what information is available. I will get back to you as soon as I have an update.
