Kierkegaard
Malantschuk Memorial Collection
Dalton
McCaughey Library, Ormond College, University of Melbourne
The
Kierkegaard Malantschuk Memorial Collection, a Kierkegaard collection
of international standing, was brought together by Dr Julia Watkin. The
collection is the largest in the Asia-Pacific region and one of the
largest in the world. Dr Watkin donated the collection to the Joint
Theological Library at Ormond College (now renamed the Dalton McCaughey
Library) following her retirement from the University of Tasmania,
where she directed the Søren Kierkegaard Research Unit. At DML the
collection has been fully catalogued onto Libraries Australia, the
national bibliographic database, and is accessible to visitors and to
others through the national inter-library lending network.

Ved Københavns
Universitet
The Søren Kierkegaard Research
Center (SKC)
sits within the Faculty of Theology at the University of Copenhagen,
though it is physically located within the historic Vartorv building
adjacent to Rådhuspladsen. The purpose of the SKC is a.: to carry out
and promote Kierkegaard research from literary, theological and
philosophical perspectives at both the national and international
level; and b.: to establish a new complete edition of all of
Kierkegaard’s writings (Søren Kierkegaards Skrifter).
Approximately 35 people work in the SKC equally distributed among
regular positions and guest researchers on grants for shorter or longer
periods of time, funded by the SKC or by other sources. The Centre also
houses the University of Copenhagen's Kierkegaard Library and is now
also responsible for the supervision of Ph.D. and Master’s students who
are writing their theses on Kierkegaard.
