Press archive

The Bayerische Staatsbibliothek expands its digital services again, launching its newspaper portal digiPress. digiPress is the technical platform for the presentation of digitized newspapers held by the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek. Up to the end of the year, the research portal will almost triple in volume: from currently 340 to over 1,000 copyright-free historical newspaper titles. With regard to volume and scope, digiPress is thus currently the only service of this kind offered by a German library. In the final expansion stage, 7.6 million digitized newspaper pages will be available.
