Where is the proof that there was a hiatus?


I doubt anyone has proof of anything with Google Books. But many had 
written about it, see for instance:




[...]
And so on.


Yes, they're all examples from 2019 aren't they? I didn't mean to say 
Antwerp was the first, sorry.

[Wikisource-l] Google Books resumes scanning, in Antwerp

[Federico Leva (Nemo)]

After a few years of near hiatus, it seems that Google Books has found a 
new partner, the city of Antwerp. They had been scouting for a while 
now, looking for a partner willing to scan at least 100k books.

I've checked a few versions of the press release circulated in Belgium 
and there's no clear statement on how the city/library will make the 
scans available, only a generic mention of the books being added to its 
online catalogue. For example:



If someone finds the original press release, please share the link. I 
couldn't find anything on https://www.consciencebibliotheek.be/ nor 
https://www.antwerpen.be/ .
