Current Projects<\/h2>

 <\/p>

The historical holdings of the Herzog August Bibliothek form a collection of European culture from the Early Middle Ages to the Enlightenment and beyond that is unique in breadth and depth. Manuscripts, incunabula and prints as well as graphics and paintings, maps and modern artists' books offer a variety of starting points for cataloguing, editing and research projects. The proven hermeneutic approaches of the humanities are complemented and supported by innovative methods of the digital humanities. In addition to publication in print, new forms of digital publishing are being tested to secure the scholarly results.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

Fellowship Programmes<\/h2>

 <\/p>

The scholarship programme of the Herzog August Bibliothek has existed for over 50 years and offers funding opportunities for applicants at all stages of their academic career, from doctoral candidates to emeritus professors. The core condition for funding, which is discussed in various selection committees, is the centrality of the Wolfenb\u00fcttel holdings for the development of the respective project. All programmes are international and interdisciplinary.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
