The digital project DFG, Digitalisierung und Erschließung des historischen Buch- und Zeitschriftenbestands der Weimarer Kunst- und Bauhochschulen, was funded by the German Research Council. About 1.700 volumes from the library of the Bauhaus University were cataloged, digitised and are now freely accessible online. This digital library focuses on the literature collections of the Bauhaus in Weimar and its predecessor institutions from 1860 to 1930. Presentation and Digitalisation is done using the Open Source software GOOBI (SUB Goettingen, SLUB Dresden). The available collections consist in books and periodicals collected by the Weimar Art and the Bauhochschule. The list of available journals is the following:
