The majority of the collection of printed works is catalogued and indexed electronically and is either contained in the
OPACplus or in
special databases.
Printed catalogues were published for numerous manuscripts, many of which have been made available
online. However, for some part of the holdings hand- and machine written repertories and card indices are kept. As a rule these are available at the information desk or in the reading room. Some of these repertories have been digitised so far making them
available for consultation on the web.
The most important repertories and card indices are:
- Subject-related repertories for all manuscript subjects (sorted by languages)
- Older special repertories and catalogues, e. g. Codices Bavarici,
Codices iconographici etc. - Author- and subject register for manuscripts in the form of a card catalogue
- Catalogues of initials, scribes and prior owners for a part of the manuscripts (introduced by Schmeller)
- Detailed repertories for a part of the collection of modern papers
- Alphabetised catalogue of
autographs (sender index and recipient index, continued in the form of an
online database for catalogue entries from 1992 onward) - Index of editions and secondary literature for all holdings according to shelf marks
[to be consulted by means of the
Research documentation database] - Photographic archive of the Department of Manuscripts (catalogue of available microfilms [
