Digitization of Frankfurt Goethe University's Self-Contained Children's Book Collections

The children's book collections of the JCS University Library's Digital Collections are a collection of retro-digitized children's books from four historical, self-contained collections (Benjamin, Hobrecker, Rümann, von der Marwitz). The data set has a total size of around 2.6 TB and comprises around 260,000 pages in around 800 already-published volumes. The publication period of the published volumes ranges from the late seventeenth century to the early twentieth century, containing original language in English, French, and German. The images can be downloaded as jpeg files or PDF; metadata are available via IIIF or as METS/MODS (OAI-PMH Interface). The data set is scheduled for long-term archiving. The files are published under the Public Domain Mark 1.0 and thus can be used freely.
