Periodicals Service Company & Schmidt Periodicals GmbH
Suppliers of reprints, antiquarian backsets, back volumes and back issues of journals and serials.
About Us:

Partners with over 40 years experience, we are major reprinters of academic journals and specialize in the supply of antiquarian backsets, back volumes and back issues of out-of-print journals and serials.

Our carefully selected stock is the largest in the world. Housed in the USA and Germany, we hold back stock for many titles in the major western languages, some 3.000.000 volumes covering all subject areas.

Many important publishers rely on us to guarantee their back volumes remain available.

Our clients rely on our expertise to complete gaps in their collections, increase their holdings or replace ageing, worn or brittle originals with high quality reprints. These clients include:

  • Serials and acquisitions librarians responsible for collection management at universities, research institutes and other major libraries.
  • Professors, researchers and scholars.
  • International companies, legal firms and government agencies.
  • Individual collectors.
  • Library suppliers and subscription agents.
Purchase:

We are actively expanding our inventory of scholarly journals in the major western languages. We are always interested in purchasing back volumes, sets, collections or even entire libraries, in all subject areas.

Please e-mail, fax, or post us your list of duplicates and unwanted titles. We will respond promptly.

Supply

We believe we offer the most comprehensive back volume service in the world. We fulfill our clients' orders from:

  • Our reprint division, including PSC, Schmidt, Kraus and Johnson Reprints. We reprint many important and long out-of-print publications. Our high quality reprints on acid-free paper are frequently considered more suitable for general use than original editions.
  • Publishers' original back stock. We have signed stock management and/or reprint agreements with many major publishers and hold a large part of their original stock.
  • Our antiquarian stock, ranging from very rare items to more recently published journals.
  • Our worldwide search service, from bases in the USA and Europe. In cases where we receive an enquiry for a title or volumes that we do not hold in stock, we will check all possible sources, on request.
Monographs:

Although we focus on journals, we have a good selection of valuable, rare monographs, multi-volume works and reference works available from both antiquarian and reprint stock.
