| | The Benefactors’ Book (1629–1772) of the former Zurich Public Library |
| | Zentralbibliothek Zürich, Arch St 22. Digital reproduction and electronic edition on e-manuscripta: http://doi.org/10.7891/e-manuscripta-45784 |
| | |
| | This striking manuscript, with numerous illustrations of coat of arms, lists more than 900 donors and about 3300 donations. Scholars, politicians, merchants, refugees as well as ambassadors donated books and objects such as portraits or coins to the Zurich Public Library. In return, the donors were immortalised with an entry in the Benefactors’ Book. |
| | In addition to the donors identified, the electronic edition contains the bibliographical information of the donated titles. In many cases, the exact copies are also identified, which are part of the Zentralbibliothek Zürich's vast collection today. The names, titles and shelfmarks of the copies of the Zentralbibliothek are searchable in full-text (via the search field at the top right). |
| | The second volume of the Benefactors’ Book (1774-1860) is available as digital reproduction as well, an electronic edition of the same is still in progress at the moment (http://doi.org/10.7891/e-manuscripta-66089). |
| | Benefactors’ books as the ones in Zurich can also be found in other libraries, for example in the Bodleian or in the [[https://cudl.lib.cam.ac.uk/view/MS-LC-II-00077|Pembroke College Library]]. |

| > A 20-year project initiated by PUL’s former rare book conservator, Scott Husby, the searchable database contains descriptive records for more than 27,000 bindings on incunables preserved at approximately 30 North American research libraries. For each library, every incunable binding – regardless of period – has been included in the census. Although 80 percent of all incunables in North America now were later rebound, a significant number of “late Gothic” bindings from the later 15th- or early 16th-century survive. The Husby Database offers more than 4,000 photographic views and rubbings of these early specimens. | > A 20-year project initiated by PUL’s former rare book conservator, Scott Husby, the searchable database contains descriptive records for more than 27,000 bindings on incunables preserved at approximately 30 North American research libraries.
