Central and Eastern European Online Library (C.E.E.O.L.)
• The Central and Eastern European Online Library is an online archive which provides access
to full text PDF articles from 220 humanities and social science journals, electronic books and
re-digitized documents pertaining to Central, Eastern and South-Eastern European topics.
• C.E.E.O.L. is the result of the activities by the Frankfurt Eastern/Western European Cultural
Center PALAIS JALTA. C.E.E.O.L.’s intention is to be an online Library and document shop.
The project’s primary concern is to make documents available to a public which can currently
only gain limited access when using traditional channels or who have been previously unaware
of the existence of these documents. Its content is provided by numerous publishers and
editors, mainly from Central European countries, along with those from the West who deal
with Eastern Europe, its histories, languages and literatures, along with its cultural, social
and political realities. C.E.E.O.L.’s goal is to become the Internet’s main portal to Central
and Eastern Europe. Library means that all documents available in C.E.E.O.L. are registered
in a catalogue database which allows online-research by all the means provided by traditional
libraries. Our content consists of electronic versions of publications (mainly periodicals) from
different fields of culture and science. In a second step, we have begun to include the
electronic re-edition of books.
• C.E.E.O.L. aims to enable communication among the actors in the East (authors, publishers)
and their readers and counterparts in the West by providing a stable platform on which this
communication can flourish. And, whenever we speak about „the West“ we in fact include
the entire world outside of Central and Eastern Europe.
