In the Zwischengas magazine archive ...
06/10/2013
As you know, Zwischengas is a virtual archive, an online platform that makes it possible to search through and read hundreds of thousands of documents in the most convenient way.
But despite the huge amount that we have already been able to digitize, there are still many journals that only exist on paper. Many of these are stored in the Zwischengas magazine archive, including those that some people no longer even know existed. There are now well over 10,000 magazines and single issues, not counting duplicates.
A considerable part of this collection will probably never make the leap into the digital age - for legal and economic reasons - so the paper versions are all the more valuable to us, as they support research and bring back to light things that were thought long forgotten.
And what makes us particularly happy is that there are always readers who bring us valuable items - magazines, racing programs, brochures, old photos and even old records with an automotive connection. And so we can slowly but surely expand and complete Zwischengas.
