 The Rijksmuseum Research Library offers a project to re-catalogue its approximately 350 pre-1601 printed books. Most catalogue entries date from the late 1930’s and urgently need updating. The aim is to connect the records of the books with the early-title catalogues (Universal Short Title Catalogue USTC, Short Title Catalogue Netherlands STCN, English Short Title Catalogue ESTC, Short Title Catalogus Vlaanderen STCV). The Rijksmuseum Research Library offers a project to re-catalogue its approximately 350 pre-1601 printed books.

 The National Library of Scotland has a collection of over 600 incunabula. The majority of these were transferred from the Library of the Faculty of Advocates in 1925 but the National Library has added a significant number since its foundation. The Advocates Library acquired its first incunabula in 1695 and had acquired well over 100 by the early 19th century. Acquisition continued through the 19th century and into the 20th, aided at the National Library by a dedicated book purchase fund that allowed for considerable additions. The National Library of Scotland has a collection of over 600 incunabula.

 Yale has a collection of more than 3600 incunabula (with about 300 of those at the Medical Historical Library and nearly 100 at the Law School), whose catalogue records vary in detail. Yale Library began to collect incunabula systematically in the 1920s and 1930s, a collecting interest that seems to coincide with the activities of Yale printers like Carl Purington Rollins, 1920 Hon. The acquisition of the Melk copy of the Gutenberg Bible, the gift of Mr. Edward S. Harkness in memory of Mrs. Stephen V. Harkness, in 1926 further inspired collecting in this area. Important additions to the holdings of incunabula and early printing were made by Louis Rabinowitz, Harold Hugo, 1963 Hon., Frank Altschul, 1908, and Edwin J. Beinecke, 1907, with an emphasis on collecting rare and unusual presses and on documenting the spread of printing in the early period. The holdings are strong in Greek and Latin classics, Italian humanist literature, historical texts, biblical literature and exegesis, and Hebrew printing. More recent areas of concentration are secular vernacular texts, illustrated books, and works by fifteenth-century authors. Copies in early bindings, notably a large group in German monastic bindings, or with evidence of early readership or provenance are prominent in the collection and in current collecting. Italian, German, and French imprints constitute the largest portion of the collection, but English and Spanish presses are well represented. The Beinecke's record of early printing in England is augmented by the extensive holdings of books printed by William Caxton, Wynkyn de Worde, and Richard Pynson held by the Yale Center for British Art. Yale has a collection of more than 3600 incunabula (with about 300 of those at the Medical Historical Library and nearly 100 at the Law School), whose catalogue records vary in detail.
