25 Years
Compared to the 500 year lifespan of a microfiche 25 years may not seem a very long time. To a publisher, however, 25 years can be of great significance. For the Harald Fischer Verlag they encapsulate a successful and exciting history. In 2009 we are celebrating our 25th anniversary, and would like to take this opportunity to thank all our friends, partners and customers for their cooperation and support and for sharing this time with us.
Today our publishing program covers many thousands of Primary Sources, with a total of about 10 million pages. For centuries many of these works have survived relatively intact, but the survival of a significant number of newer items is endangerend by brittle paper. We take some satisfaction and pride in the knowledge that many of our publications of Primary Sources will long survive the original works and us, and continue to transmit the knowledge and wisdom of past centuries.
The last few years have seen a number of diverse innovations in our publication formats. New microfiche collections of Primary Sources are now accompanied by online access to the content via our download platform, and we are continually adding digital versions to the microfiche collections on our backlist.
Preserving the knowledge and wisdom of past centuries and making it accessible to researchers all over the world has been the aim of our work during the last quarter of century. It will continue to be our aim in the future.

Claudia Schorcht
Production on demand:
If you have always been happy with our delivery times, you may not have noticed that we switched to producing microfiche copies on demand some time ago. In most cases, we are still able to keep our delivery times short. If it should, however, take a few days longer, this is the reason. In cases where you need an item urgently, please let us know.
