In the library and archive we hold material on peace and conflict issues, minorities, autonomy, security, gender, human rights, and the Åland Islands and their unique status. The library is situated at the Peace Institute building/offices at Hamngatan 4, Mariehamn. The library operates as a reference library. There is the opportunity to read & research on-site, and to photocopy literature (0.20 Euro per page).

The library is open on weekdays (Mon to Fri) from 9am until 4pm, telephone number +358-18-21910.  The librarian John Knight is at the library on Monday mornings or can be contacted by e-mail - This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

The database has a free text search facility and references can be located by author, title, subject, publisher or by name. The database is regulary updated as more material is added to the collection.

We also recommend that you search on the Åland Libraries database, Katrina - http://opac.bibliotek.ax/ - as a substantial amount of our published material is included in the catalogue, and you have access to material held in other libraries on Åland.
