Digitization, Cataloguing, and Indexing of the printed Material Published in the 18th Century in the German- Speaking Areas (VD18): Cooperative Contribution of Freiburg University Library during the Main Stage of the Project VD 18.

Term from 2014 to 2017
Project identifier Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 262300134
 
Freiburg University Library belongs to the great German libraries with notable old holdings of more than 50.000 evidences of imprints of the 18th century in its online catalogue. Klaus Haller (2007) and Reinhart Siegert (2012) mention expressively the holdings of special interest for research in context to the specific catholic traditions in the southwest of Germany, popular enlightenment, the Austrian Forelands, and Switzerland. By digitizing these imprints access will be facilitated decisively for researchers and teachers. By taking part in the project Freiburg University Library ¿ in close cooperation with the other participating partners ¿ is aiming at completing its evidence of printed matter relevant for VD 18 and improving the bibliographic description. The cataloguing of these imprints is the basis of high quality meta and structural data for the retrodigitized editions and their integration into retrodigital libraries and gateways.
