The Uppsala University Library (Swedish: Uppsala universitetsbibliotek) at Uppsala University in Uppsala, Swed, consists of 11 subject libraries, one of which is housed in the old main library building, Carolina Rediviva. The library holds books and periodicals, manuscripts, musical scores, pictures, and maps.

Uppsala

The exact site of the library during its earliest years is not known, but the university from its foundation in 1477, was located on what became known as Studt Island in the Fyris River, where the academy mill – now the provincial museum – was later built. In 1566, King Eric XIV donated the old chapter house, south of the Uppsala Cathedral, to be used for lectures. After the construction of the Gustavianum in the 1620s, this building was referred to as the Collegium vetus or Gamla akademi (the old academy), until it was ramed in 1704 through a decision of the consistory (university board) and called the Academia Carolina, in honour of kings Charles IX, Charles XI and Charles XII. Wh a new library building was evtually constructed, it received the name Carolina Rediviva, the revived Carolina, in honour of the old building, but was located to an tirely differt place.

The library remained in Gustavianum, which luckily escaped the flames in 1702, until Carolina Rediviva was completed in 1841. Carolina Rediviva has since retained the status of ctral library of the university until a reorganization in the 1990s did away with the concept of a ctralized library organization and divided the library into a number of branch libraries of equal status, with Carolina being home of one of the branch libraries dedicated to humanities and social scices. Nevertheless, the ctral functions of the library system largely remain in the building, as do the cultural heritage units (the Departmt for manuscripts and music and the Departmt for maps and prints).

Parallel to the developmt of the ctral library, the seminars (later called departmts) of the university had their own libraries. Currtly, the library's collections are dispersed in the subject libraries. In 2004 most of subject libraries within the Faculties of Arts, Languages and Theology were amalgamated to form the new Karin Boye Library in the glish Park Ctre for the Humanities, next to the old cemetery.

The university library of Uppsala was mainly created through the large donations in the early 17th ctury of confiscated libraries from monasteries, especially that in Vadsta and the Greyfriars Monastery, Stockholm (including the books donated to it by Kanutus Johannis), and the important collection of Baron Hogskild Bielke who had be executed in 1605 and whose library was confiscated by the crown and donated by Gustav Adolph in 1621.

The many wars in which Swed took a part in the 17th ctury brought many important manuscripts and collections to Swed as spoils of war, some of which evtually ded up in Uppsala. (For example, in 1626 Swedish looted from the Polish Kolegium Jezuitów w Braniewie some 1300 books and manuscripts). The most famous example is the Codex Argteus (the Silver Bible), most of what remains of Bishop Ulfilas's translation of the New Testamt into Gothic, which was looted in Prague. Another example is the Copernicana, the main part of the library of astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus, looted by the Swedish Army in Kraków. The so-called Emperor's Bible was lost wh Swedish troops occupied Goslar in Germany, and evtually also ded up in Uppsala University Library.

Later donations and purchases include many archives and collections of various Swedish families and individuals, such as the personal papers of King Gustav III, which were left to the library, to be oped only 50 years after the King's death.
