The Prague Post has launched a digital archive marking 35 years since the publication of its first issue.

October 1, 2026, marks the 35th anniversary of the newspaper’s debut.

Founded in 1991, The Prague Post was Czechoslovakia’s longest-running English-language weekly newspaper.

The newly launched archive begins with that very first issue, which is available to read in full, browse online and search by text.

A new issue will be added each week, corresponding to the same week 35 years earlier.

The project will allow readers to follow the political, social and cultural changes of the early 1990s through the newspaper’s coverage, much as readers did at the time.

The Prague Post Archive is also active on Facebook and Instagram, where updates about newly digitized issues and the project will be shared.

The archive is administered by Modrá sova z.s., a nonprofit English-language library and learning center in Loužnice, where The Prague Post’s physical archives are housed.

Issues published between 1991 and 1994 have already been scanned and processed.

Around two decades of additional issues remain to be digitized, making the project a long-term and costly undertaking. Modrá sova has independently funded the digitization work since the project began and is now inviting organizations and individuals interested in supporting the project to contribute through the archive’s website.

The archive will also continue to handle requests from people looking for specific articles and welcomes visitors by appointment.
