19th Century UK Periodicals
This is an invaluable resource for the study of British life in the 19th century — from art to business and from children to politics. Most of the materials in this extensive online collection have never been reissued, in any format, since their publication. The use of color throughout the original periodicals will be reproduced in the digital images.

19th Century British Library Newspapers
This full-text, fully searchable digital archive includes 50 papers originating in England, Scotland and Ireland, carefully selected by an editorial board from the British Library and providing a broad yet detailed view of British life in the 19th century. The collection consists of daily and weekly publications and reflects Britain's role as a superpower in the 19th century world.
