#  Theatrum Catalogorum 

 



## Welcome

The Harvard Theatrum Catalogorum was launched in 2007 by [Ann Blair](http://www.courses.fas.harvard.edu/~history/facultyPage.cgi?id=5), Morgan Sonderegger, and [Adam Beaver](http://www.people.fas.harvard.edu/~abeaver) as a scholarly resource for the Early Modernist community.

In its **second edition**, it collates library catalogs from every **major European country** and several from **South / Central America**. In future editions, it will expand to include **North America**.

###    Croatia  expand\_more  

 

There is a useful list of Croatian libraries and union catalogs (in English) [here](http://knjiznica.irb.hr/eng/crolibs.html). For Eastern European catalogs generally, the "national bibliography" pages on [this UIUC website](http://www.library.uiuc.edu/spx/class/toc.htm) are very good, especially for the translations and step-by-step directions they offer.

("Localisation de documents") Union catalog of a huge number of French university, municipal, and other secular libraries. Does *not* include card catalogs. Occasionally sparse bibliographic information.

[Bibliothèque nationale de France, Paris](http://catalogue.bnf.fr) | LARGE | FRENCH   
While technically included in the CCFR, the bibliographic information there is often confusing, and a separate search in the BN's OPAL-PLUS catalog is necessary to get exact bibliographic information, especially when the library has multiple copies of a single work. Be sure to click the links to bibliographic notes, as what appear to be several copies are sometimes just different volumes (or vice versa).

[Bibliothèque interuniversitaire de mèdecine et d'ontologie, Paris](http://www.bium.univ-paris5.fr/histmed/hm_cat.htm) | LARGE | FRENCH   
Not included in the CCFR.

Membership in a Dutch library is required to gain access. There seems to be a way to buy a pass by mail through the National Library, which would be worth looking into for anyone doing frequent searches.
