Digitization of the BPH collections:
In 2007 the library has initiated a digitization project aiming to preserve digitally all its manuscripts, incunabula and early printed books. A pilot project launched in 2008 comprises the digitization of the Rosicrucian section of pre-1800 books. Digitized collections will eventually be made available through the BPH website. Apart from preservation purposes, digitization of the core collections of the Christian-hermetic Gnosis will guarantee future research based on the library’s collections.
