Ninestars Information Technologies Ltd, a leading digital content solutions provider, has been selected by the State and University Library Aarhus of Denmark to digitise 32 million Danish newspaper pages.
According to a press release from Ninestars Information, it will scan and digitise the newspaper collection from microfilm, and the data will be made available to users via the library's service. All current Danish newspapers are microfilmed by the State and University Library, and this work amounts to 8,50,000 pages per year.
The project is a key component in preserving and providing access to material, facilitating research into Danish culture, history and language.
