We are happy to welcome the Ghent University Booktower as a new member of Photoconsortium!

The Boekentoren (Booktower) is the central entity of the Ghent University Library network that serves scholars, lecturers, students, and visitors with a diverse collection and a broad range of services. The Boekentoren manages a large digital library, with more than 300,000 e-books and the Academic Bibliography, which gathers over 300,000 publications by Ghent University researchers: the Booktower is responsible for the physical and digital management of this collection.

The building itself is a remarkable monument, and a recognised heritage library, housing one of the largest and richest heritage collections in the Low Countries.
