Digitization on request

Digitized copies of books and other special media that require special protection (hand-written manuscripts, early printed books, drawings) can only be made upon request and in accordance with copyright restrictions. Fees are charged for these copies.

If you require copies of hand-written manuscripts, special collections, drawings and prints from the Graphic Art. Collection, as well as other holdings dating from before 1900, please contact ub-handschriften@fau.de. Paid digitization of collections dating from 1900 onwards is not possible. Here you will find an overview of the costs for digitized documents.

Digitized copies of works published before 1900 may be used without restriction and free of charge under the terms of the Creative Commons Public Domain Mark 1.0 licence.

Please note: In the interest of good scholarly practice, we recommend full acknowledgement of the source when using our digitized material. In addition, in the interest of documenting research on our holdings, we request notification of the bibliographic data and a complimentary copy of the publication.
