Abstract
An important collection of printed books, the collection of the Hungarian Farkas Széll, is in the National Library of the Czech Republic today, and as the result of a large-scale digitization project conducted between 2007 and 2009, it is now available on the internet. “The Libraries of Leading Czech Personalities – Knihovny vyznamnych ceskych osobnosti digital library has been established under the framework of a project entitled Information Systems to Make Accessible Libraries of Leading Personalities as a Part of the National Cultural Heritage.” As an outcome of the digitization project, the major part of the Széll-collection, the old printed publications, has become part of the public domain since its online, digital version is available to anyone, anytime. As far as we know, this is the largest collection of documents connected to Hungary that has ever been almost completely digitalised. Thus, the invaluable treasure is easily available for Hungarian researchers, and it serves as an extremely important and unique source for research on the cultural, literary and book history of the 16 – 19th centuries.
