One of the most prized components of the Library and Works on Paper Collection is the assortment of illustrated books from the 15th to 18th centuries, which was compiled in the 19th century. Over the course of a long-term project, all of these 2 936 little-known cimelia of book art were officially recorded in a database along with a description of their content. The aim of this project is to digitize their illustrations as well as to make these data available online via the Österreichischer Bibliothekenverbund and the MAK Collection Online.
