EXILPRESSE DIGITAL (GERMAN-LANGUAGE EXILE JOURNALS 1933 - 1945)

Objective

In this project, the Deutsches Exilarchiv 1933 - 1945 of the Deutsche Nationalbibliothek in Frankfurt am Main digitalised select exile newspapers and journals held by it, and supplemented by the Sammlung Exil-Literatur 1933 - 1945 of the Deutsche Nationalbibliothek in Leipzig and other libraries. "Exilpresse digital" was The Deutsche Nationalbibliothek's contribution as partner library to the joint project "AG Sammlung Deutscher Drucke", in which it is responsible for the period from 1913 on. As part of the programme "Verteilte Digitale Forschungsbibliothek" , sponsored by the German Research Foundation (DFG) to digitally preserve endangered library materials, The Deutsche Nationalbibliothek's work has ensured the long-term preservation and accessibility of exile periodicals. The effort simultaneously represents a contribution to the project "Bibliotheca universalis", which has received the support of the Conference of Ministers of the seven leading industrial nations (G7).
