Digital Library only

Please find below a - this time rather eclectic - list of new additions to our Digital Library. We want to thank local artist John N, as well as a friendly and well equiped fellow archivist and a few other contributors for supplying us with digital copies of fine source materials or helping us digitising oversized materials.

We are always very happy to be user lead in our digitisation efforts, so if you would like to see certain titles or subject matters to be featured in our digital collections, please do not hesitate to contact us.
