The Niels Bohr Archive Library consists of three collections of books. These are the Bohr Book Collection, which comprises those of Niels Bohr's own books that were not auctioned off at his death - a few books of the latter have recently been bought back - in all about 800 volumes; the Leon Rosenfeld Book Collection, which is a rich and varied book collection donated to the Archive on the condition that it be maintained separately, 1200 volumes, and the General Book Collection, which contains history of science books and journals, as well as original physics texts, bought by the Archive and donated by friends, visitors and researchers. This collection was supplemented with a purchase made possible by the Arthur G. Sloan Foundation.

The books have been registered in the ALIN library database maintained by the Niels Bohr Institute. There is now a new online version of this library catalogue, with access to the Niels Bohr Archive collections, at ALEPH/NBI library. . Books may not be loaned out; but you are welcome to consult them at the Archive, Blegdamsvej 17, DK-2100 Copenhagen Ø.
