Library Archive Museum
The LAM project of the Universitäts- und Stadbibliothek Köln (University and City Library of Cologne)
Libraries, archives, museums preserve our cultural heritage. Many of their collections date back to common previous owners and were distributed among different cultural institutions. The LAM project virtually puts the objects of the collections into their earlier context and enables an informative access to reunite what once belonged together.

MoreKölner Gymnasial- und Stiftungsfonds
After the old Cologne University and traditional grammar schools were dissolved in the course of the Napoleonic wars and French rule in the Rhineland, the study foundations and the property of the old study houses were consequently abandoned. The extensive school and cultural property of the Kölner Gymnasial- und Stiftungsfonds stems from this Jesuit legacy.

Wallraf-Richartz-Museum Köln
Since the 1880s, the Wallraf-Richartz-Museum, today the Wallraf-Richartz-Museum & Fondation Corboud, has held the drawings and prints of the former Jesuit College of Cologne on permanent loan from the Kölner Gymnasial- und Stiftungsfonds. Along with the legacy of Franz Ferdinand Wallraf, the Jesuit prints form a cornerstone of the museum's graphic arts collection.
