What can you expect from us?
In our unique collections you could discover Fiction and Non-Fiction texts / titles, originally created during nine Centuries from the 12th Century through the early 20th Century. All contents were published from the 16th Century until the early 20th Century. Most of these thousands of ‘physical’ works were compiled and preserved in privately owned Libraries and collections (without public access to these works at these locations), from which were sourced the contents in our non-print media.
Our thematic collections – such as Proletarische Frauenbewegung – were sourced from 28 different Libraries or Archives in Europe. The Fine Art-collections were compiled and sourced under Art Historian criteria.
In other words, the original ‘physical’ contents were transferred to non-print media containing valuable (often rare) contents which are on offer as non-print media.
Which AUTHORS & ARTISTS can you expect?
Author names and subjects were checked by Academics to identify approx. 6,200 authors* (f/m).
In Historic Socialism and in Literature you can not expect that many classical writers, they are available elsewhere. However, for both Subjects, you can expect many unknown authors (f/m), also included in Pamphlets etc.
Furthermore, we offer approx. 2,300* anonymously written titles**. We don’t have knowledge about these anon. writers and/or these contents. Meaning, such anon. titles opens research opportunities to ‘unmask’ the authorships and/or contents. And to find reasons why originally such works were ‘distributed’ 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 about 215* Artists (f/m) in Europe during the 16th to the 19th Centuries.
Which SUBJECTS can you expect in our collections?
Theology, structured into Spirituality (by subjects organised into four sets / five genres), and into Religion (by subjects organised into nine sets / genres such as Mystic, Aszese, Dogmatic, Liturgy, Sermons etc.)
Predecessors of Austrian Psychology
Literature in English, French, German Languages
Historic Socialism
Political History
Fine Art – Paintings, drawings from European Artists
Which MEDIA can you expect with our contents?
Originally, our Text contents were created during nine Centuries (12th – early 20th Centuries). Our non-print media with such textual contents are in approx. 8,000,000* pages, sourced 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.
Unfortunately, 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 titles are at least substitute media and in this way are helpful to avoid such loss with information and knowledge.
How to USE our Contents & Media?
We are specialized in non-print publications in microfiches and in eBooks (with different digital access options), together with 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.
And 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.
Comments:
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’ works are in German Language. According to International Standards we leave its bibliographic data in German language.
In some of our English Version-Webpages we added brief translated introductions 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.
