The Library’s image treasures are available again 

After a longer closure due to relocation and preparations, you can now once again access the image materials in Åbo Akademi University Library’s archival collections. 

We have an extensive collection of images from various periods in the history of Finland and Turku. Some of the images are available in the Alma-Finna search portal but much more awaits you in our archive reading room (temporary address: Iso-Heikkiläntie 8, Turku). There, you can view material that has not yet been digitised. 

Do you have questions or are you looking for something specific? Contact us at manus@abo.fi – we’re happy to help! 

Bookings and inquiries: manus@abo.fi  

Address: Iso-Heikkiläntie 8, 20200 Turku 

Opening hours: 
Wed 10:00–14:00 
Thu 10:00–16:00 
Fri 10:00–14:00 

Exceptions to regular opening hours can be found in Alma-Finna

Note! Always book your visit in advance.
