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.
All together six ‘physically’ existing collections are containing the original works mentioned above and without any publicly content access in these six non-assessable locations. These collections have a fascinating history including information about who and why these private collections with thousands of titles were compiled and preserved ‘physically’ until today.
If you are specifically interested in the history of these six collections, just let us know.
Further to this you could discover data about Artists and their Artworks, some of which are also held privately.
Our thematic collections – such as Predecessors of Austrian Psychology / Psychoanalysis, or Proletarische Frauenbewegung, or the Art-collections – were compiled under Academic criteria.
In other words, the Original contents were transferred into new media, then subsequently containing these valuable (often rare) contents which we have on offer in our new media.
We are concentrated in the following subjects:
Religion & Theology
Early Austrian Psychology
Literature in English, French, German Languages
Historic Socialism in Germany
Political History in Germany etc.
Fine Artworks – Paintings, drawings from European Artits (no contemporary art).
Which AUTHORS / ARTISTS can you expect in our collections?
Our Authors 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 MEDIA can you expect for our works & collections?
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 contents are from approx. 40,000* ‘physical’ works in English, French, German Languages, some works are in Latin Language.
Originally, our Art contents were created in four Centuries (16th – 19th Centuries).
In Libraries, Archives, Museums, Private Locations – where artefacts and documents are preserved within collections – the passage of time becomes tangible. Each preserved and curated 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 collections with its contents often reveal intricate stories of transformation, innovation, 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 in inherent danger to lose such contents forever.
Where to use our contents and media?
We are specialized in non-print publications in microfiches or in eBooks (ask for access options) with such contents as described above.
These non-print publications are useful for Library / Archive / Museum collection developments. And on the one hand side could be useful for Libraries as substitute media to serve their own users’ content needs. And in the same moment eventually support their Library standards for their own existing ‘physical’ holdings and its long-term archival requirements and preservation necessities.
Our contents are also directed towards Academic Research & Teaching projects in Humanities, History, Religion, Theology, Literature, Psychology, Social Sciences, fine Arts, Art History, etc.
Comments:
There are no title / artwork duplications within the 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 Webpages we added translations in English or French Languages.
Notes:
* Subject to change without to prior notice
** the word “title” means “bibliographic unit”, meaning one title could contain the content of at least one original ‘physical’ volume or work. However, depending on the Originals, one of our title(s) 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.
