The University and State Library Düsseldorf adheres to the rules of practice of the German Research Foundation when digitizing its holdings. The scans are in TIFF format with a resolution of at least 300 ppi (pixel per inch).
Tip: Works that have already been digitized and published in the Digital Collections can be downloaded free of charge in JPEG format. For instructions, see here.
After processing your order, the digitised material will be made available to you via a download link, which will remain active for two weeks.
That depends on the material of the original and the necessary checking and scanning effort. Depending on the template, different scanners are used.
