Westfalica
As a state library, the ULB Münster indexes and preserves literature concerning Westphalia or being published there. The library supports research, work and education in that region. By law, the ULB is responsible for the regional literature and therefore contributes to making the written records of Westphalia and thus the cultural heritage available. Deposit copies of publications published in Westphalia, which must be delivered to the ULB according to the "Kulturgesetzbuch NRW", are an important basis for this.
In addition to current Westfalica, historical Westfalian literature and documents are also collected and acquired. These include early printings, manuscripts, autographs and personal papers.
