A significant part of the library of the FÖMI (10 000-12 000 pcs) are of museological value. Out of these about 280 books, periodicals and 20-25 demonstrating devices and several photos. Some of the most important books are as follows:

- Poronyi-Fleck: Petri Lossai "Hungari…Geometrie Practici" (1498),
- Ferenc Rausch: "A bányászati geodézia összefoglalása…" (1797) (A summary of mining geodesy)
- Ottó Petzvál geodesy university book (1850),
- István Kruspér: Geodesy book (1869),
- Károly Oltay: "Geodesy" I. Vol. (1919),
- István Rédey: "A projektív geometria alapelvei fotogrammetriai szempontból" (1937) (Principals of projective geometry)
- István Hazay: "Kiegyenlítő számítás" (1938) (Equalling calculation),
- Lajos Fialovszky: "Geodéziai műszerek" (1979) (Geodesy devices)
- Antal Fasching's original engeenering degree (1902).

The book seen in the picture was published in 1869. It was used as a university course book for 30 years. Its author, István Kruspér (1818-1905) was the first teacher of the Geodesy Department of the Technical University between (1850-1895). He also taught mechanics, geometry, and dealt with developing geodesy devices, too. He wrote the first printed geodesy training and hand book, which was rewarded chief prize by the Academy in 1870.
