The British Library website (UK) has recently made available online its collection of 19th century newspapers. The site covers forty-nine regional newspapers from Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales and England, and allows the user to search for individual keywords or simply browse through the papers from a particular date or time period. Access to certain articles requires a subscription, but papers such as The Penny Illustrated Paper and The Graphic are free to view. The portal also includes a timeline allowing the user to access articles and texts related to a particular event or period in 19th century history.
