Digital newspapers: the German e-paper collection

The German National Library (DNB) has been collecting the digital versions of daily newspapers since 2010.

The German National Library developed an automatic process to collect the editions of 1,193 daily newspapers from the publishers’ servers to enter them into the German National Library’s catalogue and archive systems. In January 2016, the users of the German National Library were able to access, from the reading rooms, to roughly 1 million issues containing over 44 million pages online. Approximately 30,000 new issues containing more than 1,2 million pages are added each month.
