Digitisation of historical newspapers of the German speaking countries: Enlightenment newspapers from Hamburg and Altona and their continuation in the 19th century

在近代早期，汉堡和阿尔托纳是德语国家最重要的报业中心，也是德国北部启蒙运动的中心。不来梅州立和大学图书馆全面数字化了17世纪的德国报刊。随后，汉堡潜水艇的目标是提供18世纪德国北部最重要的四份政治报纸的全文：Staats- und gelehrte Zeitung des Hamburgischen unpar他们ischen correspondenen -后来的：Hamburgische r Correspondent -， Hamburger relationscourier -， Altonaischer Mercurius和Reichs-Post-Reuter。他们都以一种特殊的政治和经济精神为汉堡和阿尔托纳的启蒙运动做出了贡献。他们在德意志帝国和丹麦有着广泛的影响。它们的数字化为政治或经济、语言、文化或传播等方面的启蒙研究提供了广泛的新的物质基础。通讯员直到1934年出版，1905年与汉堡Börsen-Halle合并；早些时候，它被汉堡潜艇数字化了，现在要进行ocredd，以便生成1904年之前的全文，就像1905-1934年已经完成的那样。《水星报》（1839-1875:Altonaer Mercur）在1875年之前一直是汉堡北部备受尊敬的区域性报纸。两份报纸都代表了“从全国性或超地区的优质报纸到地方性报纸的转变，这是19世纪德国新闻史的特征。”在这个项目中，大约51.2万页报纸将被数字化和数字化，另外46.3万页已经扫描的《通讯员》将被转换成全文。他们将通过联合目录，如北德GVK和Zeitschriftendatenbank (ZDB)，联合系列目录访问，并将通过OAI-PMH接口在ZVDD，德国数字图书馆（DDB）和欧洲以及当地报纸门户网站上提供。

In early modern times Hamburg and Altona were among the most important centres of the newspaper business in the German speaking countries and central points of enlightenment in Northern Germany. The Bremen State and University Library comprehensively digitised the German press of the 17th century. Subsequently the SUB Hamburg aims at providing full text of the four most important political newspapers of Northern Germany in the 18th century: the Staats- und gelehrte Zeitung des Hamburgischen unpartheyischen Correspondenten – later: Hamburgische r Correspondent –, Hamburger Relations-Courier, Altonaischer Mercurius and Reichs-Post-Reuter. All of them contributed to conditioning and inspiring the enlightenment movement in Hamburg and Altona with a special political and economic spirit. They had widespread influence in the German Empire and Denmark. Their digitisation provides a broad new material basis for enlightenment research in respect of politics or economics, language, culture or communication.The Correspondent was published until 1934, merged with Hamburger Börsen-Halle since 1905; it was digitised by SUB Hamburg earlier and is now to be OCRed in order to generate full text up to 1904 as has already been done for 1905-1934. The Altonaische Mercurius (1839-1875: Altonaer Mercur) remained a well respected regional newspaper north of Hamburg until 1875. Both papers represent „the turn from a nationwide or supraregional quality paper to a local newspaper which is characteristic of the German history of the press in the 19th century.“ (Jürgen Wilke)Roughly 512.000 newspaper pages are to be digitised and OCRed in this project, and additionally 463.000 pages of the already scanned Correspondent will be transformed into full text. They will be accessible via union catalogues such as the North German GVK and the Zeitschriftendatenbank (ZDB), the union catalogue of serials, and they are to be provided – via an OAI-PMH interface – in ZVDD, in the German Digital Library (DDB) and Europeana as well as in the local newspaper portal.
