Search the Swiss and Luxembourgish historical press full text.

impresso covers 1738-2018 in German, French, Luxembourgish and Italian, with the Neue Zürcher Zeitung and the Luxembourg papers as its heaviest runs. Results are individual articles rather than issues or pages, and each carries its keyword-in-context fragments inline, with matches in {braces}, so no further call is needed to judge a hit.

THERE IS NO OPERATOR SYNTAX INSIDE A TERM. The server escapes the characters an operator would need, so a OR b searches for that literal text. A multi-word query is matched as a phrase. Use advanced_search_impresso for alternatives, exclusions and filters.

Download one article's transcript, returning the path to the cached file.

Use only when the search fragments are not enough and the whole article has to be read or grepped. This is the metered call: transcripts are drawn against the account's monthly quota, while searches are not. An article whose rights status this account cannot read is refused with an explanation rather than returned empty.
