Further information:

Within the scope of foreign Bohemica collection we retrospectively acquire production from historical territories of the Czech Republic, or the Czechoslovak Republic (i.e. territory outside the present Czech Republic). Missing Slovak publications from between 1935 and 1992 inclusive have a specific standing and are acquired as a part of then domestic production (this does not apply to Slovak materials published abroad in that period).

Only exceptionally we acquire some types of special material: scholarly and university qualification works (dissertations), graphic works (postcards, posters, calendars, etc.), and individually published maps.

There is no acquisition of materials requiring reformatting (audiovisuals, electronic resources), and miscellaneous, occasional and trade publications including corporate imprints.
