We offer highly specialized services for your collection, e.g. the collection of your institute. For this, we host and present it via our website on our own collection portal, which is linked to the large USB portal and is searchable. With the various search options, we can also implement information texts, images and further links and enrich the individual catalogue or collection data with digitised material. We are happy to meet your wishes for the individual design of the homepage and the information pages. The acquisition of metadata is jointly developed and supervised by Division 4 "Historical holdings and collections, preservation and digitisation".
