INTERNATIONAL EXCHANGE RELATIONS OF UNIV. LIBRARY OF UPPSALA 133
that which was lost, to continue the interrupted development, and further
to a still greater extent, the growth of the library’s exchange relations.
These efforts have been crowned with a success far exceeding one’s highest
hopes and the exchange relations have attained at the moment, not only
their pre-war level, but have vastly exceeded the same. It may be said
that during the past few years their extension has become such as to justly
assert — even though unverified by figures — that, no other library in
the world, as fas as known, carries ön such a comprehensive exchange of
books as does the University library in Uppsala.
Some idea of the development may be obtained from the following
figures, but it must be noted that these figures, for certain years at least,
are only approximate. Though it is possible to give the number of
institutions, learned societies and editorial managements for a certain year to
which the library sends the promised exchange material, it is not therefore
absolutely sure that the recipient has something to give in return. It may
also be added that some exchange connections are very precarious, being
only of a temporary nature, that is to say they have possibly been
dis-continued for some years and afterwards taken up again, but, even
consid-ering such reservations, the following statement of figures may be of interest.
In the spring of 1884, the University library had 63 exchange relations.
Included in this number and also in the following numbers, are the
univer-sities which only give academic print in return. A little more than ten
years later (1897) the figures had risen to 761. The year 1906, the exchange
relations were estimated to have reached just about the double and in 1913
they should in all probability be about 2,000 — a more exact statement
cannot be given for special reasons. In October 1921, a thorough revision
and calculation of the exchange relations was made, according to which
these amounted to 1804 and were distributed to the various countries in
the world, in the following männer:
Belgium...............51 Latvia................ 1
Bulgaria............... 5 Luxemburg.............. 3
Denmark..............51 Monaco............... 1
England with Scotland & Ireland . . 139 Norway............... 49
Esthonia..............3 Poland................ 17
Finland...............37 Portugal............... 14
France................228 Roumania .............. 13
Greece..............10 Switzerland.............. 69
Holland...............35 Spain ............... 23
Italy.................131 Czechoslovakia............ 21
Yugoslavia..............11 Germany with Danzig ........ 331
