Virtual Library of Bibliographical Heritage
Digital facsimiles of the collections that make up Spanish
bibliographic heritage.
The manuscripts, incunabula and old printed books have
been selected due to:
Their rarity.
Their bibliographic relevance.
Their representativiness.
Their links with local or historic collections.
Other important collections are now being added:
The War of Independence.
The independence of the Latin American Republics.
Virtual Library of Bibliographical Heritage
Aims:
• To help citizens to get closer
to their bibliographic heritage.
• To help humanities
researchers.
• To use technological tools
applied to bibliographic
information.
• To contribute to Europeana
project to create a database
that will include the
bibliographic heritage of all
the state members.
Virtual Library of Bibliographical Heritage
Technical features
MARC21.
The authority records can also be reviewed through access
points in English coming from the Library of Congress.
The VLBH has a repository OAI-PMH compliant and is one of
the architectural cornerstones of Europeana.
VLBH dynamically updates the OAI repository from the
MARC21 records, which are automatically transformed into
Dublin Core metadata schemes.
The VLBH also has a SRU server meeting the specifications
of the Library of Congress.
Virtual Library of Bibliographical Heritage
Technical features
Multipage digital object allows images of the item described
to be viewed in JPEG format.
MARC21 format and the labelling or ISBD can be shown,
downloaded or sent by e-mail.

books -access points, the places where they were printed or
copied (in the case of manuscripts) and the names and
possible variations of their printers, booksellers and copyists-
.

Digital Periodical Collections
The press is in greater
danger of disappearing.
The access to the
original ones is restricted
only to researchers.
Their management
requires special care
because of the fragility
presented.
There are major
digitisation projects.
The Virtual Library of Historical Newspapershttp://prensahistorica.mcu.es/
Result of a process of
cooperative digitising by
the Ministry of Culture and
the Autonomous Regions
and other memory
institutions.
It’s possible to search for
any word on any page of
any digital newspaper.
The solution was provided
by ALTO.
Digital Periodical Libraryhttp://www.bne.es/en/Catalogos/HemerotecaDigital/
