First launched in its publicly accessible online verion in the end of 2012, the Deutsche Digitale Bibliothek networks the digitized material of German museums, archives, research institutes, print and multi-media libraries and monument-preservation organizations, thereby providing unrestricted online access to German cultural and scientific heritage at no charge to the users. The result is a single internet platform giving access to millions of books, images, sculptures, archived items, pieces of music and other audio documents, films and scores.
DDB is now bringing its beta phase to a close, and is available at: the www.deutsche-digitale-bibliothek.de portal.
