Directories of prints published in the German-speaking world

Project object

These cooperative long-term projects aim to catalog the respective books on the highest national level as well as to digitize them. The SBB takes part in several projects in the VD 16, VD 17 and VD 18 and also partners tandem projects for external collections.
