E-Books Alte Drucke on demand

Would you like a digital reproduction of works published before 1900? We can digitize rare books held by the ETH-Bibliothek for you.

  • Service

    • The e-book comprises all pages of the book, in colour.
    • Only complete books are digitized, not individual chapters or pages.
    • Books whose state of preservation is such that digitization is not possible, or which have already been filmed by other institutions and are available online, will not be digitized.
    • The specialist staff in the Rare Books Collection make the final decision on digitization.
    • No optical character recognition service is available.
    • After delivery, the e-book is made available online free of charge.
