Requests

You must have a valid library card and ID to request materials. Requests may be made by e-mail, fax, letter, or in person in the Special Reading Room. We will let you know how long it will take to retrieve the material.

Search Maps 

You can search parts of the cartographic collection in Regina. You may request other materials manually and peruse them in the Special Reading Room, which is one flight up from the entrance level.

Search Pictures 

You can search for most pictures in special catalogs using National Library indices, which are located in the Special Reading Room. Use LIBRIS to search for hand-drawn architectural drawings and engravings from Suecia Antiqua et Hodierna.

Catalogs

You can search for atlases, all hand-drawn maps, and Swedish printed map sheets from 1986 to the present in LIBRIS Web Search and Regina. Only a minor portion of the older material is recorded in general library catalogs. Other materials are found in special catalogs, indices, and copies in the Special Reading Room.

Copies and Periodical Illustrations

You may also order copies from the catalogs supplied as digital image files, photographs, or slides. See the current price list for more information. The nature and condition of the material determines the most appropriate duplication method.  Orders of up to five copies are delivered within ten business days. You can order copies of illustrations in books and magazines in Reprographic Services.
