Germany's national portal for digitised books, manuscripts, papers and images held by its libraries, archives and museums.
Before you rely on itOnly about 26 of its 65 million records actually have a digitised copy; the rest are catalogue entries. Filter to digitised objects first, and expect to be handed over to a partner library's own viewer to read.
The starting point for German-language sources, and it carries digitised German newspapers and dissertations you will not find elsewhere.Telebem editors
