VD 18: Cataloguing and digitization of books published in the 18th century in the collection of the library ofthe Deutsches Museum (VD 18 project)

德国博物馆的图书馆收藏了大约8.300本18世纪出版的书籍。这些文献主要涉及技术、自然科学和摄影科学。该收藏集中在这些主题上，具有国际重要性。通常情况下，图书馆拥有德国唯一的藏品。在VD18项目的第一阶段，应在国家书目一级对370种图书进行编目。此外，它们应该数字化，并通过结构数据加以丰富。这样，对于科技史领域的国际研究来说，这一重要的收藏变得更加明显。顺便说一句，这也是对德国博物馆所有藏品的一个超越边界的门户网站的贡献，以及对中央数字印记索引(ZVDD)、德国数字图书馆和欧洲图书馆的贡献。

The library of the Deutsches Museum has a collection of about 8.300 books published in the 18th century. The literature primarily treats with technology, natural sciences and cameral sciences. The collection is focused on these subjects and is of an international importance. Very often the library holds the only item in Germany. In the first phase of the VD 18 project 370 titles should be catalogued on a national bibliographical level. Furthermore they should be digitized and enriched by structural data. In this way the important collection becomes more visible for the international research in the field of the history of science and technology. By the way this is also a contribution to a boundary transcending web portal of all the holdings of the Deutsches Museum as well as to the Central Index of Digitized Imprints (ZVDD), the German Digital Library and the Europeana.
