Project description

The project "Further development of the German Union Catalogue of Serials (ZDB) as steering and research instrument for newspaper digitisation projects and for newspapers” was undertaken together with four other newspaper digitisation pilot projects aimed at processing all German newspapers of the 17th century as well as a small selection of German newspapers of the 18th to the 20th centuries.

In the project a new ZDB web catalogue was created with a modern and user-friendly interface and additional functions for newspaper research and for managing digitising projects.

On 25 September 2017, the beta version developed as part of the project was replaced by a productive version. The new ZDB catalogue can be accessed at https://zdb-katalog.de.
