The PIO has the richest collection of newspapers and magazines published in Cyprus from 1878 until today.

It includes 381 titles in the Greek language (political, economic, trade union, sports, satirical, cultural, agricultural, etc.), 117 titles in foreign languages and 199 Turkish Cypriot newspapers, some of which are in the Ottoman writing of the period 1891-1930. The collection also includes 594 magazine titles.

In order to protect the physical archive from wear and tear, the PIO has digitised important parts of the collection, which can be found on the website https://pressarchive.cy/s/en/page/homepage .
