Bavarian State Library (BSB): Research documentation of manuscripts
Since around 1950 the Bavarian State Library has been documenting research publications on the collections of the Department of Manuscripts and Rare Books. This documentation is based on systematic evaluation of the library’s acquisitions (special prints, specimen copies, monographs and journals) and recently also on retrospective analysis of full text journals and databases.
Funded by the DFG (German Research Foundation), in 2003 the 113.000 records of the old card catalogue (“Literaturkatalog”) were digitized and integrated into the database.
The database is constantly enhanced by ongoing evaluation work.
