Library Catalogues
Catalogues of the project partners:
University Library Heidelberg: Special Collection Catalogue of Classical Archaeology
The Special Collection Catalogue contains details of all literature that the Heidelberg University Library has acquired in the field of classical archaeology. At the moment there are references to around 60.000 books and around 1.550 archaeological journals, of which around 470 are currently subscribed.
German Archaeological Institute (DAI): Central online catalogue (ZENON DAI) and Archaeological Bibliography
The union catalogue ZENON DAI contains details of books and journal articles (around 810,000 items at present), from nine DAI libraries, including the holdings in Rome, Athens, Istanbul and Madrid. It is possible to search either in the catalogues of the individual departments, or across all departments together.
Three subject bibliographies are integrated into ZENON DAI, which can be accessed online via the use of a thesaurus (button "DAI Bibliographies").
