In partnership with the British Library, we have created one of the richest collections of primary source newspaper material ever developed.
Unparalleled in depth and scope, British Library Newspapers consists of collections from the British Library that span three hundred years of newspaper publishing in the U.K. Even hundreds of years after their release, researchers of all kinds turn to newspapers for first-hand information. The rise of newspapers in Britain was a phenomenon which characterised a new age and was increasingly a medium for information required by the commercially minded societies of major cities and regional centres. Taken as a whole, the vast assortment of newspapers in Britain is an enormous resource for research on all subjects, both urban and rural. The bulk of advertising, particularly for new books and theatrical performances, has proved especially useful to historians. Cultural trends, political currents and social problems are reflected in the newspapers and give new freshness and immediacy to historical events.
