Translation Studies

Infoterm collection:

The collection contains basic theoretical works on the subject of terminology (1001 titles), mostly from the years 1970-2000.

It dates back to the founder of terminology science, Eugen Wüster (1898-1977). Between 1971 and 1998, it was systematically expanded by Infoterm, the International Terminology Information Center. The collection (except for important parts for the Wüster Archive in Vienna) was then transferred to TH Köln and managed by the local Institute for Information Management until 2017. Since the departure of the head of the Translation, Language and Culture Studies departmental library, Prof. Klaus Schmitz, the part of the collection relating to the development of terminology science has been housed there, including many Russian rarities. The collection is therefore still a “treasure trove for studies on the theoretical foundations of terminology science” (Dr. Christian Galinski, Director of Infoterm).
