Online sale of high quality reproductions from the collections of the Biblioteca de Catalunya

The BC offers online sale of high-quality digital reproductions of public domain, copyright-free documents.

   
The reproductions correspond to digitized documents of the library and are accessed from the Additional Services of the online catalogue. As more documents in the public domain are digitized, you can acquire them by the same system.

 

(The option "Do you wish a digital reproduction (by online)?" appears only in those cases in which the document has been digitized by the BC).

These high quality images can be used for research or for public use, commercial or otherwise. In the acquisition process you will have to indicate which use you want to make and pay the public price corresponding to each case.
