The Handprinted Book

Since 2000, the Short Title Catalogue Flanders (STCV: Short Title Catalogus Vlaanderen) project is developing an online database with extensive bibliographical descriptions of editions printed in Flanders in the 17th and 18th century. The database contains some 19,100 descriptions (1 May 2013), based on some 33,100 copies from various important heritage collections in Flanders, Belgium.

A brochure in English provides basic information about the database. An extensive project description is available in Dutch.

Our Facebook page provides summary updates about the project in English.
