19th Century British Library Newspapers
"19th Century BL Newspapers Online gives us an invaluable new perspective on the way Victorian Britain came to understand itself as a community of citizens, consumers and commentators. It is hard to imagine any researcher with nineteenth-century interests to whom it does not offer important insights on their subject: and it is dangerously addictive!" Professor Arthur Burns, Kings College London Developed in partnership with the British Library and JISC, 19th Century British Library Newspapers offers full runs of national, regional and local 19th century British newspapers, taken directly from the extensive holdings of the British Library. The content includes 48 titles, totaling approximately 2.2 million pages, selected to reflect the social and political developments of the times in which they were published. 19th Century British Library Newspapers enables users to search material previously only available in London-based reading rooms. Employing the latest imaging techniques, the collection offers its users highly illustrated materials on topics as diverse as business and sport, politics and entertainment. The collection will focus on London national newspapers, English regional papers, home country newspapers from Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales, and titles in specialist areas such as Victorian radicalism and Chartism. IHR review March 2009 BL Newspapers Part 2 - Now available"We have found the 19th Century British Library Newspapers an excellent resource that is heavily used by both public and staff. It is excellent news that we now have access to a significant number of additional titles and I’m sure that our users will be very pleased." Kath Cassidy, Newcastle Libraries and Information ServiceGale is pleased to announce the release of Part II which includes 22 additional titles totalling almost 1 million pages. The aim of Part II has been to increase the range of English regional newspapers and expand the political views it represents. Widening and deepening the range of newspapers from the regions and towns/cities in England has meant that researchers will find a number of significant towns now represented in the collection including: Nottingham, Bradford, Leicester, Sheffield, and York as well as North Wales. The selection of predominantly liberal, left-of centre or radical publications in Part I has been balanced in Part II by the inclusion of two London newspapers, The Standard and the Morning Post, which for most of the 19th century represented conservative opinion. Adding papers that encompass a wider variety of political views now enables researchers to see an event from a number of contrasting perspectives. Contact us for more details
