Recent literature about Lower Franconia (since 1988) can be found in the Bavarian Bibliography (Bayerische Bibliographie) – the Lower Franconian Bibliography (Unterfränkische Bibliographie) is now part of a collaborative system involving libraries from all seven Bavarian administrative districts. All additions to earlier reporting years are also indexed here.

You can search for literature from 1962–1987 and literature published up to 1945 in the Franconian Bibliographies (Fränkische Bibliographien) database on this homepage.

This database contains titles from the print edition of the Lower Franconian Bibliography (Unterfränkische Bibliographie) for the years 1962–1987 (in the ‘Main-Franconian Annual for History and Art’ vol. 15, 1963 – vol. 49, 1997 = 20/NZ 90001 G927) and all titles from the print edition of the Franconian Bibliography (Fränkische Bibliographie) (Würzburg/Neustadt a. d. Aisch 1965–1978 = 20/NZ 90330 V11-3), which covers all three Franconian administrative districts.

To close the gap between the Franconian Bibliography and the Lower Franconian Bibliography for the years 1946–1961, additions are made to the Bavarian Bibliography.
