Timarit.is
Timarit.is (also known as Tímarit.is, Tidarrit.fo and Aviisitoqqat.gl) is an open access digital library run by the National and University Library of Iceland which hosts digital editions of newspapers and magazines published in Iceland, Faroe Islands and Greenland as well as publications in their languages elsewhere, such as Canada which had a large influx of Icelanders in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.The project was initially sponsored by the West Nordic Council and launched its web interface under the title VESTNORD in 2002.[citation needed] Initially the aim was to limit access to newspapers published before 1930 to avoid questions of copyright but shortly afterwards the project made an agreement with Morgunblaðið to scan and publish issues which are three years old.This agreement was followed with others involving both current and defunct newspapers published in the 20th century.The general rule, depending on agreements with each publisher, is to make these available 2–3 years after their initial publication.
