More heraldry books online

Postby Arthur Radburn » 25 May 2023, 10:43

If you're looking for some heraldic reading matter, Archive.org have added a lot of books to their online library over the past few months. They include several editions of Boutell, various American, Australian, Canadian, English, Irish and Scottish publications, and some Austrian, Croatian, Danish, Dutch, Estonian, Finnish, Flemish, French, German, Italian, Polish, Spanish and Swiss works in their respective languages.

Some require you to log in with a username and password, so that you can 'borrow' the book.

I find it interesting that many (if not all) are not yet out of copyright and that some are quite recent publications (many still available as new printed books).

Of course, there are many that English speakers would not be able to purchase easily.

I think copyright is the reason why those books have to be 'borrowed', for reading online for an hour a time, and can't be downloaded.

Just for the interested people : Google books has some old works from the Bayerische Staats Bibliothek. Old Folios that are rather big ( there are two that are 1+ GB).
Just enter BSB followed by wappen, wappenbuch or insignia sometimes you can also add Cod icon or Cmg. You should be able to find these books and download them or just browse through them.
