Three of its four journals are no longer published, and ran from 1886-1938, 1922-1936, and 1922-1935. But the oldest was launched in 1847 and is still going strong. The digitization project was funded by the DFG.

The open access movement:
Putting peer-reviewed scientific and scholarly literature
on the internet. Making it available free of charge and
free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
I recommend the OA tracking project (OATP) as the best way to stay on top of new OA developments. You can read the OATP feed on a blog-like web page or subscribe to it by RSS, email, or Twitter. You can also help build the feed by tagging new developments you encounter.
