502 pieces (this information is updated regularly).
So now you immediately receive a USB stick with 502 magazines; and another 148 via downloads.

What can I expect as content?
We offer you the magazines as they were originally published. No censorship is applied. Even if there is a meaningless one-off publicity insertion, this will also be digitised. So you receive the magazine exactly as it was published at the time.
Thus, we are never liable for the content, nor does it reflect our opinion, as you may find articles in some magazines that could get you into trouble today.
On the USB stick, the magazines are arranged in first order by title, and in second order by date.

What about the language partitioning?
If we consider the complete 650 periodicals, then the French and Dutch-language magazines form the main part, each accounting for about 43%; the remaining part is taken up by German and English with a slight predominance of the German-language magazines. This proportional trend will continue in the coming years.

In what condition are the magazines?
All magazines were digitally restored very thoroughly. Some are more than 100 years old and yet we present them to you in a very pleasant readable and enjoyable form.
In some rare cases, it was impossible to remove the traces of the restoration. Please note that 95% of our offer is in a digitally flawless condition. There are also some magazines in which some pages are missing; you can find information about this in the magazines themselves
The magazines were digitised at 500 dpi, which is very high and guarantees flawless quality.

Do you have to buy the usb stick to buy merchandising items?
No, the merchandising articles are separate from the USB sticks with magazines. You buy them as a stand-alone item.
