The CERL Portal : About the CERL Portal

The CERL Portal gives access to descriptions of manuscripts of all periods and early printed materials (up to 1830) in collections in Europe, the United States and Australia.

The Portal searches these collections simultaneously and offers the search results grouped per library. The full display will offer you the most important details, but not the entire record. For the full records, please follow the link to the original database provided in each record. There you can make use of the more extensive search possibilities offered by the source database, which in many cases will include access to digitised images.

The CERL Portal is an initiative of the Consortium of European Research Libraries.
