What can you expect here?
You could discover Fictions and Non-Fictions texts / titles originally created during nine Centuries – from the 12th Century through the early 20th Century. And published in the 16th Century and thereafter.
Alltogether six existing collections are containing ‘physically’ the original works and contents mentioned above and without any public content access into these six non-assessable locations. These collections have a fascinating history including information about how and why these private collections with thousands of works were compiled and preserved ‘physically’ until today.
Further to this you could discover lots of data about Artists and their Artworks, some are ‘physically’ held also at private locations.
Our thematic collections – such as Predecessors of Austrian Psychology / Psychoanalysis, or Proletarische Frauenbewegung, or the Fine Art-collections – were compiled from different ‘physical’ locations and under Academic criteria.
In other words, the Original contents were transferred into new media, subsequently containing these valuable (often rare) contents which we have on offer in our non-print publictaions.
Which AUTHORS/ARTiSTS can you expect here ?
Author names were checked formally and for its subject by University Librarians and Scholars to identify / verify approx. 6,200 authors (f/m) – and 250 artists (f/m)- with their works in our collections.
In addition: we offer approx. 2,300 anonymously written titles**. We don’t have any such knowledge about these anon. writers and/or the contents! Therefore, these anon. titles offer research opportunities to ‘unmask’ its authorships and its contents. And to find eventually reasons why such works originally were published anonymously.
Similar situation with several hundred writers’ names and its contents are ‘hidden’ in our Anthologies or Periodicals. Our 215 Periodicals (Fictions & Non-Fictions) includes works from several hundred authors with a total of approx.120,000 pages, thus inviting you to discover / ‘unmask’ individual authorship and its contents in these 215 Periodicals.
Our Fine Art-database contains Art work data and images from approx. 4,300* paintings / drawings. The ‘physical” artworks (in oil, aquarelle, drawings etc.) were created in Europe from about 250* Artists (f/m) in the 16th to the 19th Centuries.
Which SUBJECTS can you expect here?
Theology (Spirituality) & Religion (Mystik, Aszese, Dogmatic, Lithurgy, Sermons etc.)
Predecesors of Austrian Psychology
Literature in English, French, German
Historic Socialism
Political History
Fine Art – Paintings, drawings from European Artists (not contemporary art).
Which MEDIA can you expect with our contents?
Please take into consideration, originally, our Text contents were created during nine Centuries (12th – early 20th Centuries). Then (re-)printed in ‘physical’ pamphlets, books, periodicals during 16th to early 20th Centuries.
Generally spoken, our non-print media with such textual contents are in approx. 8,000,000* pages, retrieved from approx. 40,000* ‘physical’ textual works in English, French, German Languages, some works are in Latin Language.
Originally, the content data about Fine Arts in Europe were created during four Centuries (16th – 19th Centuries).
In Libraries, Archives, Museums, Private Locations – where artefacts and documents were collected, used and preserved – the passage of time becomes tangible. Each curated and preserved item holds a unique imprint of the era it originates from, inviting us to ponder the connections between individual experience and the broader movements in history.
Such items and such collections with its contents often reveal intricate stories of innovation,transformation and changes, reflecting shifting tides of knowledge, religion, culture, politics and societies across Centuries.
However, often such contents were never / are no longer ‘physically’ assessable to the public.
And because of old, printed paper qualities are endangered to lose their contents forever. Our engagement and our works try to avoid such loosing.
Where & how TO USE our Media?
We are specialized in non-print publications in microfiches and in eBooks (with different access options), together with Bibliographic Records with such contents as described here.
The non-print publications are useful for Library / Archive / Museum collection developments. And on the one hand side could be useful for Libraries also as substitute media (to serve their users’ content requirements). And in the same moment being able to follow / support their own standards for their existing ‘physical’ holdings regarding long-term archival requirements and preservation necessities.
And our contents are useful for Academic Research & Developing / Teaching projects in Humanities, History, Religion, Theology, Literature, Psychology, Social Sciences, Cultural Studies, Fine Arts, Art History, etc.
Comments:
There are no content/media duplications within collections and in-between the collections.
The eBooks and / or microfiches titles are also available with electronic Bibliographic records.
Approx. half of the original ‘physical’ works are in German Language. According to International Standards we leave its bibliographic data in German language. In some of the following English Version-Webpages we added brief translations in English or French Languages.
Notes:
* Subject to change without prior notice
** the word “title” means “bibliographic unit”, meaning one title could contain the content of at least one original ‘physical’ volume. However, depending on the Originals, one title can also contain the contents of two, three (‘three-deckers‘) or more original ‘physical’ works / volumes. This is especially the case in Novels, Anthologies and Periodicals.
