Kungliga förordningar is a catalogue containing royal decrees, ordinances, parliamentary decisions, statutes, and more, available in the collections of the University Library. The catalogue covers the years 1335-1828. The cards are sorted after the decision date. A majority of the content is also catalogued in the national catalogue Libris.
Personverser
Personverser (occasional poetry) are tributes to individuals in contexts such as funerals, weddings and other events that were considered worthy of attention. The main entry of the card catalogue is of the person being celebrated. The cards also contain information about the author of the text, the first lines of the tribute and the year of the event. There is often information about the person's profession or title. The texts date from the 17th to the 20th century.

The catalogue consists of circa 20 000 cards. Please note that the University Library also has holdings of School books that are not shown in any catalogue, from the mid 1990's to the early 2000's. There are bibliographical records for most of these in the national catalogue Libris, but our holdings are not shown.
