A rich resource
With over 100 million pages and counting, the British Newspaper Archive covers a huge variety of news stories from centuries ago, through to the very recent past. A hugely useful tool for journalists working across a range of publications, the British Newspaper Archive can help to aid research into events of national importance and local history, as well as more specific themes.
