On 4 November 2016 the GHIL celebrated its 40th anniversary. On this occasion we would like to thank our colleagues and friends who supported us and our work over the last four decades. An exhibition on the institute’s history is on public display at the GHIL until 31 January 2017.
Please note that there will be restricted access to some library holdings
(German history 1871-1945) on Friday 2nd December from about 3pm.
Books from these holdings will still be available but may have to be fetched
by library staff.
Christmas Closure: The German Historical Institute Library will be closed
for a period of between two and four weeks in December/January (including the
Christmas period) to allow for stock reorganisation. The exact dates of the
closure period will be announced on the GHIL website in early December.
