General

The Bayerische Staatsbibliothek holds a comprehensive collection of Bavarian newspapers and journals. The collecting activities go back to the mid-17th century. Thanks to the law on mandatory deposits, the Bavarian newspapers and journals are present almost in their entirety for the time after 1945 in particular.

Important Bavarian journals such as "Zeitschrift für Bayerische Landesgeschichte" (ZBLG; journal for Bavarian regional history) or the "Jahrbuch für fränkische Landesforschung" (Yearbook for regional studies of Franconia), as well as almost the complete copyright-free holdings of historical newspapers and journals are available in digitized form, among them for example the Bavarian newspapers on the revolution of 1848 up to 1950. Currently, the newspaper portal digiPress is being set up for the presentation of digitized historical newspapers.
