Online Catalogues

WinterCat is Winterthur Library's online catalogue and includes more than 70,000 bibliographic records, representing the holdings of the four collections that constitute Winterthur Library. Records for imprints, periodicals, rare printed materials, manuscript and ephemera holdings, photographs, and archival resources have been combined into a single database. With just one search, researchers can determine the library's holdings on any given topic, person, or organization.

WinterCat features hyperlinks to manuscript finding aids and selected images. To view them, simply click on the highlighted text within the bibliographic records.

WinterCat will grow with time. To date, all bibliographic records for manuscript holdings are part of WinterCat, and we anticipate adding links to a growing number of manuscript finding aids and images as they are converted into electronic form. Thanks to a generous grant from the Luce Foundation, we created nearly 10,000 bibliographical records for works and craftspeople represented in the photograph collection. With support from the Barra Foundation, we catalogued all of our rare book holdings.
