The digital heritage library is a project aimed at making available to everyone, whether users from the Grenoble university community or remote internet users, a collection of works from the old and heritage collections of the Law and Literature, Joseph Fourier, and Medicine and Pharmacy university libraries of the University of Grenoble Alpes.
The selection of titles offered responds both to the need to preserve the originals and, above all, to the desire to make old, sometimes rare works and reference works widely available free of charge in order to support knowledge and research.
Originally built up from the collections of the University library and Letters in Grenoble, it aims to integrate all the old collections of University library. It aims to reflect the multidisciplinary collections of university libraries.
It is regularly enriched by digitization requests from the public through the
on-demand digitization service, created in January 2008 with the support of the Rhône-Alpes region. This service is completely free and open to all, and has already made it possible to put around 200 documents online, digitized in-house.
All digital versions are freely accessible from the
catalog or the
Digital Heritage Library (for browsing and downloading in PDF format).
Since 2012, the works have been digitized in color. Documents scanned in black and white between 2008 and 2011 can be viewed
here.
