Neue Funktionen für e-rara.ch

The platform e-rara.ch is gearing itself even more towards teaching and research needs.

Since April 2019, a whole series of new functionalities have been available to the academic community of the platform external page e-rara.ch.

IIIF standard

e-rara.ch now supports the IIIF standard, too. The corresponding IIIF manifest can be found for each of the 71,750 titles (as of 1 April 2019) on the platform. This means that texts, prints or maps can be compared with digital copies from numerous prestigious institutions in the external page IIIF-Community and researched in more detail on the screen.

Processing, sharing and downloading images

Moreover, users can now process images swiftly and independently, download files in JPEG format and re-use them for research and publication purposes, or share the selected contents on social media via the newly available sharing links.

Full-text download

Ever since 2017, the platform has been continuously expanded to incorporate full-text recognition for Antiqua and German type printed from 1801 onwards. Full texts can now also be downloaded directly.
