It is probably the project on books looted in Poznań at Uppsala you are thinking of. It is in the final stages right now. But several other collections will follow. There is so much left to do on this field in Sweden, so I guess (and hope) I will be working with these stories for many years to come

Sorry for being pedantic. But from the Uppsala-perspective it feels important to emphasize that these kinds of loans and collaborations in fact have a long history.

Many items were on loan to Poland also in the 1970s, for a previous anniversary. See the article on Copernicus’s library by Pawel Czartoryski from 1978.
