Abstract

The Swiss National Library (SNL) runs digitisation projects for various forms of media, with a focus on newspapers. This is because newspapers are of particular interest not only to the public, but also to researchers in the field of digital humanities. The SNL is taking a leading role in the country’s efforts to digitise and make available online as much newspaper content as possible. This paper describes how the newspapers are digitised, the role of the SNL and how the pipeline is structured, from original publication to online dissemination. This article is also included in The Business & Management Collection which can be accessed at https://hstalks.com/business/
