Current press releases

The analogue photo archive of the journal stern with its 15 million prints, negatives and slides is considered as the visual memory of the Federal Republic of Germany from 1948 to 2001. Having acquired the archive in the year 2019, the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek now makes the one millionth digitized picture available online in the specially set up portal www.stern-Fotoarchiv.de.

The Bayerische Staatsbibliothek (BSB) and the Saxon Regional Library – State and University Library Dresden (SLUB) have started the fifth phase of the Fachinformationsdienst (FID) Musikwissenschaft (Specialised Information Service for Musicology), a project subsidised by the German Research Foundation since 2014 and now extended by a further three years. The funding volume of the 5th phase amounts to around 2.4 million euros. The objective of the infrastructure project is to provide relevant information services for research in musicology in Germany. In the course of the coming three years, the BSB and the SLUB thus will further expand their already established services.
