Personal papers, archives
In the University Archives, the ETH Library preserves the memory of ETH Zurich and enables researchers to research the history of the university as well as topics relating to the history of technology, social sciences and natural sciences. In the Max Frisch Archive and the Thomas Mann Archives, the ETH Library also makes two important writers’ personal papers available for academia and the public. A growing number of these archives can also be accessed directly in digital form.
