Catalogue of the Bibliography of the History of Belgium
As the Bibliography of the History of Belgium is continued online, the title descriptions (attention: no information about place of storage) of books and articles published in Belgium and abroad about the history of Belgium and published after 2008 are now available in a separate catalogue of the State Archives, which can be accessed freely and at no charge. You can search this catalogue based on the name of the author, keywords and date of publication.
If you would like to access a publication, you must identify its storage place via one of the following catalogues which are not included in the catalogue of the Bibliography of the History of Belgium:
- the catalogue of the Libraries of the National Archives and/or
- the general library catalogue Unicat and/or
- the common catalogue of the federal libraries and/or
- the international library catalogue Worldcat
The digital catalogue of the Bibliography of the History of Belgium is drafted in collaboration with the royal History Commission.
