This is a list of just some of the major (usually collaborative) book digitization projects. Many libraries, museums and other institutions are digitizing and making freely available the historical treasures in their collections. So in addition to the collaborative projects listed here, it is worth investigating the Web sites of relevant libraries and museums to see what they might have to offer. There are also many books included in the library’s licensed resources; these are listed in the relevant Subject Guides.

Direct access to several million digital objects: film, photos, paintings, sound recordings, maps, manuscripts, books, newspapers, and archival papers. Selected from previously digitized resources available in Europe’s museums, libraries, archives, and audio-visual collections. French and German cultural institutions are particularly well represented.
One of the world’s most advanced digital library collections, providing online access to millions of books, periodicals, images, videos, maps, sound files, manuscripts, and scores. Searchable in basic or advanced modes, and browsable by publication type. Originally an attempt to provide coverage of the Bibliotheque Nationale’s vast holdings in French literature from the Middle Ages to the present, it now has digital access partnerships with a number of other major library collections substantially increasing its offerings. Includes links to other relevant sites.
This site allows you to search through the holdings of the National Libraries of European countries. You can limit your search easily by type of material, including digitized books, images,or exhibits. You can also select which countries’ libraries you want to search.
