About Winterthur Library Digital Collections
The Winterthur Library Digital Collections platform contains images, recordings, and other media from the library’s vast collections of books, manuscripts, visual resources, archives, and more. These materials represent a small fraction of the Winterthur Library’s total holdings. To learn more about the library’s collections and to search the library catalog, WinterCat, please visit our website.
Materials included in the Digital Collections platform may have been selected for their uniqueness and their intrinsic or potential research value; to create digital access copies of physically fragile or highly requested materials; or to support scholarly research, learning initiatives, and community projects. The Winterthur Library welcomes digitization suggestions from our collections - please email us at reference@winterthur.org.
