The Anna Lindh Library's collections of curiosities

The library has a unique collection of rarities in military history. The collection consists of material from the Army Staff, the Naval Staff and the Royal Danish Army. The Artillery Regiment's Collection.

The entire collection of rarities is listed, but it is only partially catalogued.

From 2017 to 2018, work was carried out on an inventory and care planning of the rarity collection. The collection is stored in closed warehouses, but most of the material can be ordered and studied as a reading room loan.
