Though this is listed in Panos Georgiou's excellent list of projects, I
am passing this along this because of the committee's interest in
newspapers from Greece.
The Greek National Library hosts e-fimeris, "one of the biggest projects
in Greece for the digitisation of Newspapers."
The collection contains more then 220,000 indexed and searchable
newspaper page images, and nearly 1 million article citations.
Titles currently include ELEFTHERIA (1944-1967), EMPROS (1896-1917),
RIZOSPASTIS (1917-1983), SCRIP (1893-1911) and TAHIDROMOS (of Egypt)
(1958-1977).
The Greek National Library is offering its collections via open access.
