A common problem for all scholars is the difficult accessibility of the majority of these periodicals due to heavy losses during Nationalsocialism.
Complete volumes are to be found in few libraries only.
Therefore the reproduction of Jewish periodicals in digital form is an urgent desideratum of world-wide research. The project will provide global Internet access to the major Jewish periodicals of the German language area, preferably as fulltext, but certainly as images including corresponding indexes. For pragmatic reasons German language texts will be processed first. At a later stage these are to be followed by publications in Hebrew and Yiddish.
