Special Collections of Wageningen University & Research – Library is a great source of visual documentation on a wide array of subjects. Main subjects are agriculture, botany, livestock farming and garden and landscape designs. We organise exhibitions on the edge of science and heritage.
The exhibitions show highlights from the Special Collections, Image Collections or other WUR Library collections.
Wageningen University & Research has always been interested in and committed to the visual arts. Art and science can reinforce one another by inspiring new discoveries and allowing for a meaningful dialogue on the implications of these discoveries.
Special Collections, a department of WUR Library, offers collections of rare, old and vulnerable documents that need particular care and attention, in management, conservation and user accessibility. The collections include garden and landscape designs, nursery catalogues, aerial photographs and academic heritage. A large part is digitally available through the WUR Image Collections.
