Founded in 1941, the Foreign Broadcast Information Service was tasked with monitoring, recording, transcribing and translating from up to more than 70 languages all intercepted broadcasts by foreign governments, official news media and secret broadcasts in occupied territories on all continents.
Access to this newly licensed database is available to registered users of the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek via the Database Information System.
