Object of the month
Some interesting pieces in the ZIH collections go unnoticed due to lack of exhibition space. Others cannot be exhibited, because they serve other, primarily scholarly, purposes. Thus to give them proper attention we present some pictures, museum pieces, books or historical items as objects of a month online.
