Europeana Newspaper WorkshopAmsterdam, September 16th, 2013
Historical Newspapers’ DigitizationCurrent state of digitization:• most of the historical newspapers have been
digitized;• among them all Slovenian newspapers and
journals important for history and culture;• all German language newspapers published on
the Slovenian territory;• more than 600.000 objects.
Challenges
• placement of newspapers in the context of a whole digital library;
• articles vs. issues;• full text search through all text materials:– limitation of the large number of results,– filters,– provide to user the results of full text search as
immediate answer;• inflected language;• old alphabets (Metelko alphabet, etc.).
