The newspaper archive: Home of historical witnesses

Over decades we have collected historical newspapers  and magazines from archives, museums and collections for you in our newspaper archive. This has resulted in an archive that now contains over 5 million original newspapers! International newspapers and magazines have also found a home with us. You're looking for a newspaper / magazine from Germany, Switzerland, Austria, England, Spain, Italy, France or Poland? You are guaranteed to find what you are looking for in our newspaper archive!

No matter how "aged" your historical newspaper may be: It should still make a good impression when you give it as a gift, even after a century! In order to preserve the newspapers as well as possible, we store them in our newspaper archive under very special conditions. Protected from light, heat and humidity, the quality of your newspaper is preserved. To guarantee the authenticity of your newspaper, we include a certificate of authenticity with every folder containing daily newspapers and magazine.

At HISTORIA, your selected newspaper gift can be turned into a very special surprise! Send us your personal message and we will engrave it on your gift from the newspaper archive using the latest laser technology. Whether it be a greeting, congratulations or simply the anniversary year: There are no limits to your creativity! Your message will turn your gift into a very individual surprise - something that can't be bought at your local store around the corner.
