colibri is a project launched in 2021 to digitize German-language children’s and young adult literature (see more of it here). The excellent web portal, which is accessible in English and German, already provides free digital access to 12,000 works of children’s and young adult literature from the period between 1801 and 1914, with more being added every day. Our tip for getting started: works by Lothar Meggendorfer – there are quite a few of them.
