Bibliothek schaltet Breslauer "Volkswacht" als erste digitalisierte Tageszeitung im Netz frei.

Im Rahmen des Kooperationsprojektes zwischen der Bibliothek der Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung und der Universitätsbibliothek Wroclaw digitalisierte die Bibliothek der FES die sozialdemokratische Breslauer Volkswacht mit den Jahrgängen 1891 bis 1925.
