Departmental library of the history of pharmacy, medicine and natural sciences

The history of pharmacy and medicine understand themself as links between health care, natural science and humanities. Accordingly, studying sources and literature are essential elements of our scientific field.

Attention!

We only have a sub-stock of books and sources as well as the non-circulating collections of Prof. Dr. Tanja Pommerening and Prof. Dr. Maike Rotzoll at our institute, since the majority of the books moved to the modern premises of the main library of the university (Deutschhausstraße 9, 35037 Marburg). This sub-stock, together with the books at the main library, represents an extensive reserch library in the fields of history of pharmacy, medicine and other natural sciences.

For finding out about the location of the book you are looking for, you have to check the catalogues of the library.
