I think it might interest some members that are into music research that at loooong last, we have a comprehensive German portal with digitized newspapers (with a bilingual German/English interface). It's early days yet, but there's already a good selection available:


https://www.deutsche-digitale-bibliothek.de/newspaper (https://www.deutsche-digitale-bibliothek.de/newspaper)


We're still missing some key titles (most notably the Frankfurter Zeitung und Handelsblatt and the Vossische Zeitung) but the expectation is that new titles and volumes will be added to the site in due course.


Among the reasons why it has taken so long for this initiative to materialize are the regional fragmentation of the German press landscape and the federal education infrastructure. Happy it's here, though.

Well, that's a nice and very handy thing to have. Thank you for the hint, Ilja!

Great news! At long last something comparable to the very useful Austrian ANNO (https://anno.onb.ac.at) and Swiss E-NEWSPAPERARCHIVES (//http://).

Not sure it's so great. My first attempted search caused my computer to crash. Just saying...

Just tried it, it presented me with 6 pages of results within a second.

Could be my computer, then. Glad it's working well for others.
