When the Swiss Literary Archives were established in 1991, they took over the historical holdings of the National Library, including the literary estates of Hermann Hesse, Carl Albert Loosli, Rainer Maria Rilke, Annemarie Schwarzenbach and Carl Spitteler.
Additions to the collection focus primarily on 20th-century writers. Also represented are institutions and publishers’ archives as well as small collections such as the Hans Rhyn autograph collection.
