Zentralantiquariat der DDR: Distribution channels. Recipients. Provenance
Project object
Aim of the basic research project is to reconstruct the sales practices and distribution channels of the 1959 founded Zentralantiquariat (central antiquarian bookshop, ZA), to identify copies sold by the ZA and potential receiving libraries within and beyond the borders of the former GDR and to contextualise the determined (maybe ZA typical) provenance within known channels and waves of bibliomigration throughout the decades. The research results will be documented sustainably for scientific and public purposes within the Digitalisierte Sammlungen (digitalised collections) of the Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin.
