Portrait Collection

The major part of the collection contains images of professors of the Berlin University from 1810 until today. Furthermore there are images of professors and staff of the University Tartu (Dorpat) between 1850 and 1870 and a few stray images of the professors of the universities in Bern, Halle, Innsbruck, Kaliningrad (Königsberg), Leipzig, Linz, Prague, Vienna and Würzburg. The holdings are completed by donations to the University Library's autograph collection showing Images of members of staff of the University library.

The portraits may be search via a separate Online Catalogue. A smaller version of the portrait can be displayed as well.
