Motivation[edit]

The ANNO project is a very useful source for searching historical references in (mainly) Austrian or German language newspapers. The Austrian national library is ongoing digitizing a huge amount of historic newspapers from their stacks and publishing the materials online including a fulltext search. Linking corresponding newspaper items from Wikidata to the Project should be a good step.

Some newspapers are already linked in Wikidata using full work available at URL (P953)
