Short Title Catalogue Flanders (STCV)

Since 2000, the STCV. Bibliography of the Hand Press Book in Flanders (STCV: Short Title Catalogue Vlaanderen) project is developing an online database with extensive bibliographical descriptions of editions printed in present-day Flanders before 1801.

A brochure in English provides basic information about the database. An extensive project description is available in Dutch.

At present (1 March 2023), the database contains 28,315 descriptions based on 55,416 copies from various important heritage collections, mainly in Flanders, Belgium.

Our Facebook page and Twitter account provide summary updates about the project in English.
