The neoclassical building was constructed between 1819 and 1841 and houses significant historical collections of the university. Among the most famous pieces is the Codex Argenteus, the so-called Silver Bible from the 6th century, one of the most important preserved manuscripts in the Gothic language.

The University Library is a key place for Walpurgis Night Celebration in Uppsala.
At sharp 3 o’clock in the afternoon the Donning of the Caps takes place in front of the University Library, Carolina Rediviva. The Vice-Chancellor waves his white student cap to the gathered masses below, who wave back and don their white caps. Raising the cap is seen as a signal to mark the beginning of spring.
Directly afterwards, the male choir Orphei Drängar (OD) perform their spring concert on the steps in front of the library.
Must visit experience when spending Valborg around Stockholm/Uppsala.
