VD 18: Digitization and cataloging of 2.500 printings for a retrospective German national bibliography for the 18th century

该项目的目的是展示大约2500份18世纪世纪重要印刷品的数字化副本。这些印刷品将在两年内根据“DFG数字化实用指南”进行数字化，并使用书目和结构元数据进行索引。数字化印刷品将在VD 18在线平台以及巴伐利亚联合目录和大学图书馆的OPAC上提供。它们还将被纳入德国数字图书馆（DDB）和Europeana by OAI接口。第一次分析显示，在该项目内将被数字化的印刷品中，约有44%，即约1，100种图书，是“Trew图书馆”的一部分。克里斯托夫·雅各布·特鲁是世纪纽伦堡的一位医生和科学家，他的图书馆被认为是德国最重要的自然历史收藏之一。整个特鲁图书馆，包括他的学术信件收藏，于1818年被转移到埃尔兰根大学。根据其历史书架标记，藏书板或其他出处的指示，“特鲁图书馆”的印刷品将在OPAC以及特定的数字收藏中几乎统一起来。拟议的项目将增加重要的印刷到这个集合。

The aim of the project is to display about 2.500 digitized copies of significant printings of the 18th century. These printings are going to be digitized within two years according to the “DFG Practical Guidelines on Digitization” and indexed with bibliographic and structural metadata.The digitized printings will be made accessible on the online-platform VD 18 as well as by the Bavarian Union Catalogue and the OPAC of the University Library. They will also be included in the German Digital Library (DDB) and the Europeana by OAI-interface.About 44% of the printings to be digitized within the project, that is about 1.100 titles, are part of the “Trew Library” as a first analysis has shown. The library of Christoph Jacob Trew, an 18th century physician and scientist of Nuremberg, is supposed to be one of the most important natural history collections in Germany. The entire Trew Library including his collection of scholarly correspondence was transferred to Erlangen University in 1818.Based on their historical shelf marks, bookplates or other indications of provenance, the printings of the “Trew Library” will be virtually united in the OPAC as well as in a specific digital collection. The proposed project is going to add important printings to this collection.
