Several organizations have begun to put horological content online as part of a larger effort to digitize the world's libraries.
This page provides links to some of the horological material. Please respect the usage restrictions of the sites posting the matrial. Please let me know of additional links that should be posted.
Unfortunately, the digitizing process is not perfect. There are missing pages and perhaps more importantly, fold out images are not scanned correctly. If you own a copy of any of the documents below or have access to a copy, please consider contributing digital images of missing images to this site.
