The National Széchényi Library (NSZL) has been Hungary’s national library, the guardian and distributor of written cultural heritage since 1802. Our online content services are an indispensable resource for anyone who wants to access this heritage. Our webpage and other sites have the necessary security clearances in line with this privileged role.
In addition to books and periodicals, the unique collection of the NSZL also includes special small graphic works: the national library has an ex libris collection of both old and modern works, which is outstanding both nationally and internationally.
