This is a fantastic resource, inclusive of high-quality data pertinent to the Late Nineteenth Century, and the data is purely aero. It's breadth is somewhat German-skewed, though not exclusively. It has offered our only leads on certain Russian material, for instance, and has helped us to triangulate relative to data already at hand. Many of its later patents overlap with those searchable via DPMA and Espacenet.

The museum offers a list of its patents.

Each one has an archive record listing some basics about the patent and happily they often have pdfs of the original doc. We often link to these "Objekt" pages of individual patents. Many of these are unique, not available elsewhere online, to the best of our knowledge.

The titles given in this list sometimes match the original titles, wholly or in part, and sometimes they summarize the invention in different words.
