Europeana Newspapers is a rich resource for historians, researchers, educators, genealogists and creative users alike to discover newspaper and printed heritage from across Europe.
What can you do with Europeana Newspapers?
In addition to being able to view the newspapers, many have been transformed from two-dimensional images into readable text files, allowing people to search within their contents. Use the ‘Search for records with full text’ feature.
Europeana Collections now gives you the option to:
- browse curated lists of the top newspaper titles from A-Z or by country of origin
- search the full text of newspapers or search only in the metadata
- search for newspapers in a date range or on a specific date
- read blogs on Newspaper-related themes
- download raw newspapers data via the API
To help you use these new features and find the newspaper content you’re looking for, we’ve developed helpful guides that explain how to navigate, search, find, and reuse Newspapers content.
Sustainable access to Europe's newspapers
This collection builds on the Europeana Newspapers project (funded under EC's CIP 2007 – 2013 and coordinated by Berlin State Library) in which 18 European partner institutions digitised centuries of valuable newspaper heritage.
Clemens Neudecker of Berlin State Library said, "I’m glad to see a dedicated newspapers collection in Europeana. Building on the outcomes of the Europeana Newspapers project, I’m very happy to see Europeana investing in continuing to provide sustainable access to this important European historical resource".
Giving access to such a wide variety of newspaper content on Europeana Collections for the first time has necessitated the development of new functionality and implementing new technology to make sure that newspapers are as discoverable, searchable, readable, and reusable as possible.
