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之一，也是德国北部启蒙运动的中心。不来梅州立大学图书馆全面数字化了17世纪的德国报刊。随后，汉堡分社的目标是提供18世纪德国北部四份最重要的政治报纸的全文：The Staats-und Gelehrte Zeitung des Hamburgischen Unpartheyischen Corpondenten-Late：Hamburgische r Corents-，Hamburger Relationship-Courier，Altonaischer Mercurius和Reichs-Post-Reuters。他们都以一种特殊的政治和经济精神制约和激励了汉堡和阿尔托纳的启蒙运动。他们在德意志帝国和丹麦都有广泛的影响。他们的数字化为政治或经济、语言、文化或传播方面的启蒙研究提供了广泛的新材料基础。《通讯员》发表至1934年，自1905年起与汉堡·伯森-哈勒合并；它更早由SubHamburg数字化，现在将被OCRs编辑，以便生成1905-1934年的全文。Altonaische Mercurius(1839-1875：Altonaer Mercur)在1875年之前一直是汉堡以北一份备受尊敬的地区性报纸。这两份报纸都代表着“从一份全国性或跨地区的优质报纸转变为一份地方性报纸，这是19世纪德国出版史的特征。”(于尔根·威尔克)在这个项目中，大约512.000页报纸将被数字化和OCR，另外463.000页已经扫描的记者将被转换成全文。它们将通过诸如北德GVK和Zeitschiff tendatenbank(ZDB)等联盟目录和系列丛书联合目录提供，并将通过OAI-PMH接口在ZVDD、德国数字图书馆(DDB)和欧洲图书馆以及当地报纸门户网站中提供。

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.
