The collection of early prints includes systematically added descriptions and digital reproductions of books printed from the 15th to the 18th century (incunabula and early printed books) from the collections of the University Library in Poznań.

The collection of old prints comprises nearly 65,000 works in more than 75,000 volumes, as well as 450 incunabula (including fragmentarily preserved copies). It is one of the largest collections of this type in the country. It is dominated by foreign prints, mainly from German and French printing houses (dating from16th–18th centuries and 18th century respectively). Polish imprints from the 16th–18th centuries constitute about 15% of the entire collection.

In terms of provenance, the collection consists largely of the remnants of old Greater Poland book collections and forms an invaluable document of the region’s history. However, it also contains remnants of libraries from Western Pomerania, Courland, and Semigallia (including libraries of the Baltic Germans), as well as fragments of many former book collections from the territory of the historical German Reich.
