Have your collection digitized and hosted
We offer you highly specialized services for your collection, e.g. the collection of your institute. We host and present them via our website on our own collection portal, which is linked to the large USB portal and is searchable. We can also implement information texts, images and further links and enrich the individual catalog or collection data with digital copies using the diverse research options. We are happy to accommodate your wishes in the individual design of the homepage and information pages. The collection of metadata is jointly developed and supervised by Department 4 "Historical Holdings and Collections, Preservation and Digitization".
Do you have a special collection? Then get in touch with us.
