The Hungarian Digital Image Library has been developed by the National Széchényi Library in collaboration with 48 Hungarian libraries in 2008-2009. The development of the continuously expanding digital image collection was funded by the Renaissance Program Office and the Hungarian Ministry of Education and Culture.
Our aim is to provide access to well-known and less known images within and beyond country borders. The collection interest of the image library apart from the National Széchényi Library’s images comprises digital Hungarica documents descending from different collections, for instance codices, regional history picture collections, postcards, posters and other digital images (like scanned manuscripts).
The representative selection has been established for educational, cultural and scientific purposes. The creative use and reuse of the digital images will be supported from time to time with new special services.
By collecting and providing digital images from different collections users get an overview of the cultural heritage preserved in the libraries, and the images can be freely used for learning, acquisition of knowledge and entertainment. Commercial use of the images requires prior permission from the rights holder libraries.
