With your help, we have very successfully completed our crowdfunding campaign for "Great Treasures". Via the platform wemakeit EUR 20.900.- were collected. Thus, we have far exceeded our goal! In addition, many donations have also reached us directly. We would like to thank you very much for this as well!
Thanks to numerous donors, we are able to restore around 260 large-format volumes, mainly from the 18th and 19th centuries, pack them in acid-free envelopes and store them in a suitable depot. In this way, our common cultural treasure will be preserved for centuries to come.
You can watch all crowdfunding videos on the Youtube channel of the Austrian National Library.
Are you interested in our projects? We will gladly advise you personally.
