Digitization of historical newspapers from the former state of Oldenburg

作为前奥尔登堡州历史报纸数字化总体战略的一部分，奥尔登堡州立图书馆（LBO）打算根据DFG实践“数字化”和该计划的要求，在24个月内将两份历史报纸——《Jeversches Wochenblatt》（1791-1945）和《Norddeutsches Volksblatt》（1887-1933）及其前身和后继报纸数字化。全文识别将应用于两个标题，研究结果将作为开放获取文件提供给研究人员和公众。杠杆收购的数字化基础设施可用于此目的。拟议的dfg项目意味着进一步加强这一基础设施和已经在杠杆收购中建立起来的报纸数字化专业知识。通过这种方式，dfg项目将为LBO数字化中心的可持续发展做出贡献，并与其他合作伙伴和赞助商一起支持未来在各种形式的书面文化资产数字化领域的项目。在这个阶段，下萨克森州西北部的科学图书馆都没有提供任何类似的数字化基础设施。尽管杠杆收购为该项目选择的报纸确实是从18世纪末开始在小规模的区域背景下出现的，但作为科学研究的来源，它们仍然具有超区域的重要性。他们对19世纪和20世纪初席卷德国的政治、经济和社会动荡提供了不同的看法。奥尔登堡州面积小，因此有可能在一个相对较小的地区通过举例的方式调查这些发展（作为进一步的阶段，也可以与其他地区进行比较）。以同名住宅为城市中心，在20世纪依赖农业的腹地，新兴的工业城镇，如威廉港和德尔门霍斯特，分为新教北部和天主教南部，它在最小的空间里提供了各种各样的社会文化和政治环境。尽可能完整地覆盖这些方面是规划的重点。出于这个原因，dfg项目优先考虑了两本特别有趣的研究书籍，因为它们的寿命长（尤其是《Jeversches Wochenblatt》），它们是新闻历史的某些阶段的典范，也是重叠空间中对比鲜明的政治潮流。《人民日报》最初是一份“知识报”，后来发展成为一份针对农村地区的地方政治报纸。《北德意志人民报》属于社会民主主义的工人报刊。

As part of its overall strategy for the digitization of historical newspapers from the former state of Oldenburg, the Landesbibliothek Oldenburg (LBO) intends to digitize two historical newspapers – the Jeversches Wochenblatt (1791-1945) and the Norddeutsches Volksblatt (1887-1933) as well as their immediate predecessors and successors – in accordance with the DFG Praxisregeln "Digitalisierung" and the requirements of the program within a period of 24 months. Full text recognition will be applied for both titles and the results shall be available to researchers and the general public as open-access-documents.The digitization infrastructure of the LBO is available for this purpose. The proposed DFG-project means to further strengthen this infrastructure and the newspaper digitization expertise, which has already been built up at the LBO. This way, the DFG-project will contribute to the sustainable development of the digitization center at the LBO and support future projects in the area of digitizing various forms of written cultural assets with other partners and sponsors as well. At this stage, none of the scientific libraries in north-western Lower Saxony offers any comparable digitization infrastructure.Although the newspapers selected by the LBO for the project in question did emerge in a small-scale regional context from the end of the eighteenth century onwards, they are nonetheless of superregional importance as sources for scientific research. They provide a differentiated view of those political, economic and social upheavals that took effect throughout Germany during the 19th and early 20th centuries. The small state of Oldenburg makes it possible to investigate these developments by way of example in one relatively small area (and – as a further stage – in comparison to other regions as well). With the eponymous residence as an urban center, a hinterland which was dependent on agriculture well into the 20th century, emerging industrial towns such as Wilhelmshaven and Delmenhorst and divided into a Protestant north and a Catholic south, it offers a wide variety of socio-cultural and political milieus in the smallest space. Covering these facets as completely as possible was the focus of planning. For this reason, the DFG-project prioritizes two titles that are particularly interesting for research, due to their longevity (this applies especially to the Jeversches Wochenblatt) and exemplary nature for certain phases of press history as well as contrasting political currents in an overlapping space. The Jeversches Wochenblatt was initially an „Intelligenzblatt“, which developed into a local political newspaper tailored to the rural area. The Norddeutsches Volksblatt belongs to the social-democratic workers’ press.
