Digitalised media on Hamburg's history/Hamburg address books

Copyright-free digitalised media on Hamburg's history are offered by the State Library on three levels. In addition to four sources that were digitalised in special projects ("Hamburger Adressbücher"; "Briefwechsel Ernst Cassirer"; "Schröder, Hans: Lexikon der hamburgischen Schriftsteller bis zur Gegenwart (1851-1883)"; "Zeitschrift des Vereins für Hamburgische Geschichte"), all other sources from the Stabi's holdings can be searched together or browsed systematically according to collections, document type or subject categories. You will also find digital copies relating to Hamburg which have been digitised by other institutions and research establishments (external digital copies). We have summarised these into collections for you (for books, magazines, newspapers, etc.). For the newspapers, the terms of use may differ in individual cases, due to different licensing conditions.
