Summary/Abstract: The Archbishop’s Library in Freiburg im Breisgau dates back to the date of the foundation of the archdiocese – 1827. The actual date of its creation is 1975, when the Archdiocese merged scattered books and journals in the Curia Library, after fusion with the Library of the Theological Seminary and Seminary Library. The text presents, on the grounds of analysis and criticism of available sources and literature, the library collection, together with conditions of its storage and principles of circulation. The catalogues and multiple searchers by which library resources are available on the global information network are characterized in details. A special place has been given to Mary Jo Rabe, the long-time head of the library.
