Scanning and copying at your request

We scan or copy media published prior to 1950 and especially valuable, sensitive items upon request for a service fee.

Please submit your request to haab.info@klassik-stiftung.de or speak with our desk staff in the reading room or at the lending desk.

We usually send your requested scans to you electronically. We can also save the scans on storage media and send them to you by post. Paper copies are likewise sent by post. You can also pick up the storage media and paper copies yourself from the lending desk in the Study Centre.

If you wish to publish scans made by the Herzogin Anna Amalia Bibliothek, in some cases you must first obtain permission from the Klassik Stiftung Weimar. For further details, please send your queries to fotothek@klassik-stiftung.de. Learn more
