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.

Unfortunately, often such contents were never / are no longer ‘physically’ assessable to the public.

And because of old, printed paper qualities the contents are endangered to get lost forever. Our products are at least substitute media and, in this way, helpful to avoid loss of information and knowledge.

So what can you expect here? We provide intellectual contents created during nine Centuries in Europe (and some in the USA) by thousands of writers, authors and artists. These thousands of ‘physical’ works were compiled and preserved in privately owned Libraries, Archives and collections – without public access to these locations – from which were sourced the contents, now available as non-print media.

Our collections with non-print titles and artwork data highlights major intellectual, social, religious, cultural movements and time periods in Europe and in USA, which shaped our societies. Inspired by such Philosophical and Psychological thinking we invite you to discover possibly your specific content wishes. Or to discover eventually new content horizons within our collections or academic Content compilations.

In these unique collections you will find contents with Fictions and Non-Fictions, originally written from the 12^th Century through the early 20^th Century. These contents were ‘physically’ published between 16^th Century & early 20^th Century. Our oldest original printed ‘physical’ title was published in the year 1546, published together with thousands of other valuable works in non-print media.

One of our Thematic Collections – named as Proletarische Frauenbewegung – were sourced from 28 different Libraries or Archives in Europe. A similar background exists for our titles in the set The 1848/49er Revolutionaries and their influence in 19th Century USA.

In other words, the original ‘physical’ contents were transformed into non-print media containing these valuable (often rare) contents which are available as such.

Which writers, artists can you expect here? We are specialized in elaborating works from unknown – or less known – creative people. This means i.e. in Fictions, you will not find Goethe or Schiller or Sir Walter Scott within our collections, they are available elsewhere. Or in Historic Socialism you will not find Carl Marx etc.. But you will find unknown political texts regarding Socialism from many hundred writers. Our Author names and subjects were checked academically (formal and by subjects) to identify in this way approx. 6,200 authors* in the collections. 

On offer are also approx. 2,300* anonymously written titles**. We don’t have much knowledge about these anon. writers and / or their anonymously written contents. These writers and contents open research opportunities to ‘unmask’ the authorships and/or their contents. Or to find reasons why such works were originally ‘distributed’ (i.e. in Pamphlets) or even published anonymously.

A similar situation appears with several hundred writers’ names and its contents which are ‘hidden’ in our Anthologies or Periodicals. A total of 215 Periodicals (Fictions & Non-Fictions) includes  texts with approx.120,000* pages, also inviting to discover/‘unmask’ such individual authorship with its contents in these 215 Periodicals.

Our Fine Art-data contains Art Historian data and images from approx. 4,300* paintings/drawings. The ‘physical’ artworks (oil, aquarelle, drawing etc.) were created from 215* Artists (f/m) in Europe during the 16th to the 19th Centuries.

Which subjects can you expect in our collections?

THEOLOGY, structured under the subject Spirituality and under the subject Religion. And further organized by 14 additional Theology Subjects, such as Mystic, Ascetism, Dogmatic, Liturgy, Sermons, Hagiographies etc. All of them further differentiated by additional available scholarly subjects.

Which media can you expect with these contents? The texts (and drawings, graphics, Caricatures – Daumier etc. – contents were created during nine Centuries (12th – early 20th Centuries). Our non-print media with such contents spans approx. 8,000,000* pages, sourced from approx. 40,000* ‘physical’ works in English, French, German Languages, some works are in Latin Language. The descriptive data (and selected images) about Fine Arts in Europe, were originally created during four Centuries (16^th – 19^th Centuries).

How to use our Contents & Media? We are specialized in non-print publications such as microfiches and eBooks (with various digital access options), including digital Bibliographic Records. Such non-print publications are useful for Library/ Archive / Museum collection developments – useful for Libraries as substitute media (to serve their users’ content requirements). And in the same moment being able to support their own standards for their own existing ‘physical’ holdings / collections regarding long-term archival requirements and preservation necessities.

Our contents are focussed to Academic Research & Developing / Teaching projects in Humanities, History, Religion, Theology, Literature, Psychology, Social Sciences, Cultural Studies, Fine Arts, Art History, etc.

* 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.

There are no content / media duplications within collections and in-between the collections. eBooks and / or microfiches titles are available with electronic Bibliographic records. Approx. half of the original ‘physical’ texts are in German Language. According to International Standards we leave such bibliographic data in German language.
