Fiction, Non-Fiction & Art
of the 16th to 20th Centuries

We specialize in non-print publications with contents of books, pamphlets, and magazines from the 16th to the early 20th century.

The digital art database contains data on around 4,300 paintings and drawings by approximately 250 artists from Europe, covering the period from the 16th to the 19th century.

The titles* contain the contents of approximately 40,000 books, pamphlets, and approximately 300 magazines by approximately 6,200 well-known authors, including numerous female authors. In addition, 2,300 anonymous titles offer interesting research opportunities for determining the authorship of such anonymous works from past centuries, or for answering the question of why they were written anonymously or pseudonymously.

A total of approximately 8,000,000 full-text pages with texts in English, French, and German are available, often also as translations.

Our microfiche titles can, for example, be used for libraries also to serve their long-term archiving needs, if specific Preservation needs for original holdings require it. But of course, also for user-friendly tasks.

Our eBooks are available – depending on their content – with various digital access options, either from their institution or within a digital network.

Electronic bibliographic data is available for both media types

Our art database is suitable for academic institutions and libraries.

Generally spoken, our publications serve research and teaching in literature, history, religion, theology, psychology, social sciences, regional studies, art history, etc.

Approx. half of our titles are in German Language, including names of collections, sets and subsets. Therefore, we decided to leave all these related pages in German Language.
And where adequate to content we introduce these pages with English Language and French Language textual introductions

Notes:
* Information is subject to change at any time and without notice.
** “Title” means “bibliographic unit”, i.e., one title contains the content of at least one “physical” volume. However, depending on the original work, “title” can also contain the contents of two or more books and/or journals.
