As part of its ambitious programme to digitise its printed heritage, the National Library (BnL) is proud to announce the online publication of 63 historical periodicals, comprising over 403,680 pages and 61,231 issues. These historically significant documents are now freely accessible on the eluxemburgensia.lu platform, offering everyone the opportunity to rediscover key aspects of Luxembourg’s history and culture.

This initiative marks a major step forward in the preservation and dissemination of our national heritage. The digitised publications, spanning a wide range of genres and themes, reflect the evolution of ideas, debates and events that have shaped the cultural, intellectual and social fabric of the country. The digitised newspapers include, for example,  Der Landwirth (1877-1941) and Luxemburger Zeitung (1868-1941). The latter is one of the most significant daily papers in the history of Luxembourg’s press. Published six times a week, it introduced up to two daily editions from 1902 onwards. Batty Weber served as editor-in-chief from 1893 to 1922, after which he continued overseeing the cultural pages and the feuilleton, in particular the daily column Abreiß-Kalender (1913-1940).
