One Year Deutsches Zeitungsportal: Over One Million Editions Available
12.12.2022 Lisa Landes (project managerZeitungsportal)
But we are not only happy about the increase in newspaper editions. With the Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Bibliothek - Niedersächsische Landesbibliothek, the Universitäts- und Landesbibliothek der Rheinischen Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn and the MARCHIVUM Mannheim, we were able to welcome three new data partners. They have enriched the Deutsches Zeitungsportal with editions by the Hannoverschen Kurier, the Kölnische Zeitung and the Neuen Mannheimer Zeitung, among others. While the Hannoversche Kurie is one of the outstanding newspapers in Lower Saxony, the "Kölnische Zeitung" can be described as a leading medium in the all-German press landscape of the 19th and 20th Century, due to its coverage and its influence. The "Neue Mannheimer Zeitung" was – under a changing name – one of the most widely circulated newspapers in Mannheim, the leading newspaper city in Baden, which also gives it special significance.
We would like to thank our data partners for these new newspapers as well as the deliveries of the existing data partners last year!
Users who are interested in new titles on the Deutsches Zeitungsportal are now able to obtain information from a list.
The Deutsches Zeitungsportal is a sub-portal of the Deutsche Digitale Bibliothek and, like it, brings together digital collections – in this case historical newspapers – from different institutions on a single portal.
The newspaper portal can be used free of charge without registration. Cultural and knowledge institutions that wish to participate with their newspaper holdings are very welcome.
The Deutsches Zeitungsportal is set up by four project partners: the Deutschen Nationalbibliothek k (project management), the Sächsischen Landesbibliothek – Staats- und Universitätsbibliothek Dresden (SLUB), the Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin – Preußischer Kulturbesitz and the FIZ Karlsruhe – Leibniz-Institut für Informationsinfrastruktur. The establishment of the Deutschen Zeitungsportals is funded by the Deutschen Forschungsgemeinschaft - DFG and the four project partners.
