Le Temps' written heritage fully digitized
Le Temps announces the completion of the full digitization of three daily newspapers whose legacy the publisher has taken on: the Journal de Genève, the Gazette de Lausanne, and Le Nouveau Quotidien.
This initiative, which began in 2006, has developed into a research experience, according to a Le Temps press release. The entire collection of texts is available free of charge on the Letempsarchives.ch website. The collection includes reports on the economic, political, cultural and social life of our country over several centuries, at times when freedom of the press was sometimes under threat in other countries. The archives date back to 1798 and contain around 4 million articles.
All content - articles, illustrations, photos and advertising - can be accessed via a simple keyword and/or date search. Each article is displayed in the original layout of the respective daily newspaper. The website's numerous functions allow you to browse through a complete edition, send articles or save queries in a personal folder.
This project to enhance the value of historical archives is the result of a partnership with the Swiss National Library, the Bibliothèque de Genève and the Bibliothèque cantonale et universitaire de Lausanne and the support of the Sandoz Family Foundation, Mirabaud & Cie Banquiers Privés and PubliGroupe.
