FAQ – Our HISTORIA Newspaper Archive

How do historical newspapers enter the HISTORIA archive?

For several decades, we have been collecting historical newspapers and magazines from archives, museums, antiquarian dealers, and private collections. Each edition is carefully examined and only added if authenticity and condition meet our standards. This results in a unique collection of genuine historical records.

How are the originals inspected and preserved?

Once added to the archive, our team examines every edition thoroughly — paper quality, print image, and any signs of aging. Small tears are reinforced, and fragile areas are protected. Our goal is to preserve the original substance while maintaining the paper’s stability.

How are the newspapers archived?

All editions are precisely documented — including title, date, origin, and condition — and then stored in special archival boxes. These protect them from light, humidity, and dust, ensuring that the originals remain in the best possible condition for decades to come.

How can I find a newspaper from a specific year or date?

In our online shop, you can search directly by date. Our archive team will then select the corresponding original edition, check it one last time, and carefully prepare it for shipping — including a certificate of authenticity and an optional personalized gift folder.
