Digitization of historical scientific heritage

2017-2018
DOCUMENTATION
The documentation centre is engaged in digitizing the Institute’s publications and making them accessible to the public via ORFEO, the Federal Open Access Repository. The Aeronomica Acta, a periodical formerly published by the Institute, was completely digitized. This unique collection consists of more than 400 publications, representing pioneering scientific research. ORFEO currently holds all BIRA-IASB publications, preserving and ensuring continuous access to more than 3100 publications from 1959 onwards. By participating in DIGIT-04, BIRA-IASB will expand the current project to photographs, negatives, and film.
