Over 5,000 books have been restored.\nDuring this restoration phase, the Abbey Library remained open to visitors.<\/p>\n

2015: Cleaning books<\/strong>
The Abbey Library's entire Baroque collection of books was cleaned after necessary fumigation (pest infestation). 70,000 books were competently cleaned and rearranged. The project is expected to be completed by 2016.<\/p>\n

The Abbey Archive<\/a>\u00a0also offers modern equipment, which makes it easier for users to do research on and study the valuable collections.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":127,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"class_list":["post-10271","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nZeitachse -
