Content: The archive contains almost 60,000 images from the entire field of agricultural engineering, horticulture, fruit growing and viticulture and digital publications such as dissertations, textbooks and publication series. There are furthermore films and videos from the field of agricultural engineering. Publications on completed research projects are also integrated into the archive and research data is added to the collection (as of August 2023).

Retrieval: May be done   (1) through the "classification system",   (2) a full-text search in the "search field",   (3) a spezified search using  Type,  Title,   Keywords (now all in English),   Authors,   Brand,   Color, Source   and   Language in a single or multiple way in the "Advanced search" (use translations in the "Search Field Table"), or   (4) within "Documents" using the included links with direct access to the required object.
