E-resource of the Month: The Times Digital Archive, 1785–2019
The Times has been one of the world's most important newspapers for more than 200 years and is also one of the most quoted newspapers. Its historic full-text archive contains more than 12 million articles and consists of every page published in The Times between 1785 and 2019.
Christmas is approaching, and with it often the hassle of Christmas presents. Why not take inspiration from an advert for Christmas presents in The Times from 1796?
The archive contains not only articles but also adverts, birth and death notices, illustrations, photos and more.
The material is indexed to enable you to perform precise keyword searches. You can also search by year, month and date.
The archive is valuable for teachers, researchers and students of history, history of science and ideas, and English. It is also a goldmine for anyone with a general interest in history.
