The Copenhagen Post website was established in the spring
of 1998 during a short national strike that made printing a
hardcopy of the newspaper impossible.
The Copenhagen Post
website contains a searchable history of all articles ever written
for the newspaper - regardless of whether they were published in
the printed edition. This makes www.cphpost.dk the largest
English-language database in the world for recent Danish news and
