Swiss National Library Collection Eclipses 10 Million Page Milestone

Written by Admin | Aug 22, 2022 3:45:00 AM

The Swiss National Library Collection skyrocketed in size from 6.5 million to 10 million pages within just one year, making it one of the fastest-growing Veridian collections.

This achievement is due to the momentum and streamlined processes the Swiss team have cultivated, allowing the collection of digitised Swiss newspapers from 1692-onwards to grow at an impressive rate.

Veridian works with the Swiss National Library in an ongoing capacity, providing responsive assistance focused on ingesting the data and expanding the index.

This rapid growth is also a result of the collection increasing its user base and more canton partners coming on board to add material to the collection, helping the National Library create a collective legacy of print.

Congratulations to the Swiss National Library team on this accomplishment! We look forward to helping facilitate further expansion of the collection. Explore this collection.
