New-Yorker Staats-Zeitung

Tabbed

Description & Rationale

This project would digitize the Center for Research Libraries’ holdings of a German language newspaper New-Yorker Staats-Zeitung, which was a series of related titles published in New York, NY from the 1830s until at least 1991.

The holdings to be included in this digitization project are from 1891-1921, with some gaps. This material would then be openly accessible through CRL’s online platform.

Reasons for consideration:

This title, the first major German paper of New York, has not been digitized elsewhere and would be valuable for scholars in North America, Europe, and elsewhere who are interested in the German-American community in New York. Smaller German language papers in the U.S. copied its content and during World War I arranged to receive news telegraphed from the New-Yorker Staats-Zeitung's special correspondents in Europe.
