From the 1910s to the 1960s, cinema was one of Brazil’s most popular forms of entertainment, rivalled only by radio. De Gruyter Brill’s Classic Brazilian Cinema Online collection brings together digitized issues of over 60 film magazines from 1913–1974.

There are hundreds of extensive and ambitious archive digitisation projects taking place across the world today – all with the aim of getting primary research into the hands of millions more people, whilst building a permanent record of academic literature to drive the advancement of ideas for generations to come. None of this would be feasible without the close and ongoing collaboration of libraries, publishers, academic bodies and governments worldwide. And it’s an activity that shows no signs of slowing down.
