Library Collection & Acquisitions
The University and State Library holds a print collection that has grown over time, covering the full breadth of the Slavic linguistic and cultural sphere and including several estates of eminent Slavicists (including that of Dmitrij Tschiževskij), which have been catalogued according to their provenance.
Gaps in the collection relating to older literature published after 1945 were successfully filled in 2012 through the acquisition of several sections of the dissolved library of the Department of Slavonic Studies at the University of Frankfurt am Main. The current collection priorities are aligned with the university’s teaching profile, and the aim is to continuously expand access to electronic content.
Research
Titles relating to Slavic Studies are mainly housed in the Steintor Campus branch library and are fully catalogued electronically (in scholarly transcription where applicable). With a few exceptions, the holdings are available for free loan.
The list of titles incorporated up to 2014 follows an in-house classification system.

History and Profile of the Subject
Slavonic studies have a long tradition in Halle, dating back to the 17th century – just a few years after the university was founded, a course in the Russian language was offered for the first time in the winter semester of 1697/98. The discipline underwent significant expansion after the Second World War and particularly in the 1970s and 1980s, when Slavic Studies at the university was represented by up to six chairs at times. Currently, the Department of Slavic Studies, with three professorships, covers the fields of linguistics, literary studies and cultural studies. The range of languages covered in research and teaching focuses on Russian, Polish and Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian. Slavic Studies can be studied at both Bachelor’s and Master’s level.
