EMD Digital Library
EMD stands for Euskal Memoria Digitala (Basque Digital Memory, in English), the open access digital library on Basque culture that the Sancho el Sabio Vital Fundazioa Foundation produces, acquires or preserves at its headquarters in Vitoria-Gasteiz. It was one of the first documentary heritage digitisation projects and was created in 2008, within the framework of a project with the Spanish Ministry of Culture for the creation and transformation of digital resources and their dissemination and preservation through repositories.
Today the Digital Library of Basque Cultural Heritage of the Sancho el Sabio Vital Fundazioa Foundation, specifically the collection of bibliographic heritage from the 16th-19th centuries, is collected and disseminated through Euskariana, Hispana and Europeana, at the level of the Basque Country, Spain and Europe.
Access to the images is open, with BY-NC-SA licence for the collection of ancient bibliographic heritage and with BY-NC-ND licence for the collection of modern bibliographic and documentary heritage, except for the digitised full-text articles of the journals (bearing the SNV code), for which prior registration is required.
16th-19th century bibliographic heritage
The bulk of the collection is basically made up of old monographs with a wide thematic coverage, mainly in the field of humanities and social sciences, highlighting the collection of 18th century history, travel literature from the 17th to 19th centuries and Basque linguistics, without forgetting the scientific, genealogical, religious, ethnographic, gastronomic, etc. line. It also has maps, manuscripts, engravings, pamphlets and printed music. The linguistic coverage is mainly in Basque and Spanish, although there are important collections written in other languages, such as English and French.
