The largest and most important special collection of Maastricht University is the Jesuit library which consist of more than 250,000 volumes of books with scientific, legal, as well as theological significance. Other notable items in the library's collections include prize books, travel books, and books printed in Maastricht.[2]
Several collections are especially focused on Limburg notables such as the personal library of Limburg poet Pierre Kemp (1886–1967), the documentation collection by painter Charles Eyck (1897–1983), and the personal library of chemist and Nobel laureate Peter Debye (1884-1966). The library also holds the personal library of Dutch illustrator Bernhard Reith (1894-1974) and many Dutch periodicals from 1840 to 1950.[2]
