Newspapers
The University and State Library of Münster has one of the largest newspaper collections in Germany.
At the beginning of 2003, the two most substantial newspaper collections at the university were merged: the press archive of the Department of Communication (IfK) and the newspaper archive of the ULB. The resulting Newspaper Archive (ZuP) with a reading room and various devices for making (digitised) copies was housed in Bispinghof 24/25 (building of the Alte Universitätsbibliothek – former library building) and could be used on site until it was dissolved in this form in mid-2024.
