 The press archive has been online since summer 2009, although older material has not yet been retro-digitalised.The dfi, represented by the Frankreich-Bibliothek, is a member of the information network “International Relations and Area Studies” (FIV) and thus participates in the production of the World Affairs Online database (WAO).All literature, including relevant journal articles and book chapters, is catalogued in the FIV database and can be searched via the dfi catalogue, as well as through further regional and national online catalogues.
