Question: When will all the newspapers published up until 1890 be digitized and on-line?
Answer: All the newspapers published by up to date will be available in 2008.

Question: Are there any plans to digitize newer newspapers in the same way, for instance from the beginning of the 20th century up until now?
Answer: The copyright law restricts the online use of newer material. The law lays down that the material is free of copyright only when 70 years have passed since the authors death, and every writer of an article in a newspaper is regarded as an author.

Question: Almost all the newspapers are in Swedish. When will newspapers in Finnish be available?

Question: Why is the number of the issue missing from the upper corner of the newspaper in some cases, or has replaced with a zero?
Answer: Different systems have been used for numbering the issues of the papers. A zero usually means a sample issue.

Question: Line breaks in the Article Index usually involve hyphen-ated words. Could this be helped?
Answer: The hyphens come from the typing of the Article Index and cannot be removed automatically because in that case words such as "Keski-Suomi" would be written as "KeskiSuomi". It would take a lot of work to correct hundreds of thousands of entries manually.

Question: Is there an article index covering the material up to the end of the 19th century, for instance? I have found mentions of articles in Rauman Lehti in some searches, but I cannot find the articles themselves.
Answer: No more comprehensive index is available. A reference to a newspaper article serves as a functional link if the digital version already exists in the Newspaper Library.

Question: Is there any way of getting English translations of the articles? When can these be read in English? For now, how can I get an article translated?
Answer: There are no plans for automatic translation at the moment.

Question: Why aren't schools and the education system included as a subdirectory in the Article Index?
Answer: The index was compiled in the late 19th century and does not follow modern principles. We have no plans for updating or re-classifying it.
