Bulgarian Newspapers & Journals at the Library of Congress

The Library of Congress' European Reading Room has recently added two valuable lists of serial publications from Bulgaria to their impressive array of digital resources, Bulgarian Newspapers at the Library of Congress and Bulgarian Journals at the Library of Congress. Both lists were compiled by the Bulgarian specialist at LC, Angela Cannon. These are not just lists of titles held. Each entry includes publication information, title changes, LC holdings and links to any online issues.
For those interested in the region, planning research in this country or abroad this is an extremely useful site.
Both the journal and newspaper pages include introductions with bibliographic guides to the topic. The entry information also indicates the format of the material, i.e., film or print, that is available.
