The VD18 portal includes all prints catalogued since 2009 within the"Verzeichnis Deutscher Drucke des 18. Jahrhunderts" (VD18). Currently, the database consists of more than 284,000 titles that have been published in German or in the German-speaking world between 1701 and 1800. Almost all prints are accessible as digitised copies and are assigned an individual VD18 number. The search function covers both the bibliographic data and – if available – the structural data and metadata of the records.
