The Manuscrits collection of the Bibliothèque Universitaire de l'Arsenal contains about 800 volumes, including the old archives of the universities of Toulouse and Cahors. Often, these documents relate to regional history, literature, and archaeology, as well as to medicine and sciences in general.

Archival history
-
The collections of the Toulouse University Libraries are among the most important in France. They contain more than 50,000 units, including manuscripts, printed rare books, engravings, photographs and maps. The collections currently stored in the libraries of the universities Toulouse 1 Capitole Jean-Jaurès and Toulouse III Paul Sabatier were originally part of the former University Library of Toulouse. These collections were mainly constituted in the 19th and 20th centuries, resulting from donations, purchases, and State institutions' deposits.
