Happy Valentine's Day to all library lovers! We at believe that Valentine's Day should be the day of love for your fellow (wo)man, not just for your love

partner. In this time of Covid 19 loneliness it is important that we can count on each other.

Don't forget to text your friends from high school with whom you may not have spoken for a while. Send your grandparents a sweet message, be extra nice to your brothers and sisters and show understanding for your parents.👨‍👩‍👧

Books can fill a big gap in this socially restricted time. Whereas a party at the weekend used to be the highlight of a student’s week, you now probably look forward to a walk in the park with your best friend.

We highly recommend you to explore the Library’s (Special) Collections … We challenge you to find romantic books, maps, letters, diaries or other objects among all the scientific literature.

Do not forget to check the Library’s Image Bank (VU Beeldbank, under Collections) in which you find various “liber amicorum”. These “books of friends” became popular in Germany in the mid-1500s. They are autograph books which used to be exchanged among friends, students 👨‍🎓👩‍🎓and colleagues to share drawings, poetry, and personal messages.

The picture [from VU Amsterdam’s Image Bank] shows an inscription from an album amicorum/ Johannes Bugenhagen, Hieronymus Osius – dating from 1557.   

Let us know which tokens of romance or friendship you have found in our collections by sharing them.

How do you celebrate Valentine's Day this year?

Did you know that he University Library has a 3D printer?

We have already printed clay nails, the death mask of Abraham Kuyper, a cross-section of a landscape, robot parts, a tomb on the Via Appia and the wood frame of a house on the Kalverstraat.

The clay nail comes from the Library’s small collection of archaeological objects from the ancient Near East. It consists of 49 clay tablets, 1 brick with text, and 93 other objects.

Did you know the Library conserves a small collection of archaeological objects from the ancient Near East? It consists of 49 clay tablets, 1 brick with text, and 93 other objects. The sculpture in the picture comes from this ‘Van der Meer-Cools collection’.

In our Image Bank you can see many objects from the collection, such as spear heads and oil pitchers.

The clay tablets and clay brick are regularly used during archeology classes.

The Library owns a 3D printer and to make it possible for students to hold the clay nail in order to study it we have made a 3D print.

Anyone with a good and feasible idea can submit a request for the creation of a 3D object.

Would you like to 3D print an object in connection with your research project, teaching or thesis? Let us know in the comments.

Valentine’s Day is coming up! The day in which we celebrate all types of love, for partners, family, neighbours … So in  anticipation of Valentine’s we send you ❤ from the Library, because we miss you students here.

This illustrated page comes from “Getijdenboek (usus van Rome)” which you can find in VU Library’s collection of medieval manuscripts. It has been completely digitized so you can admire it page for page in the VU Beeldbank (under Collections on the UL website).

We challenge you to find more tokens of love and friendship in the VU Beeldbank. You can download all images. If you post them and tag us. We will share them.
