The British Library has done historians a tremendous service by creating
this extensive and thoroughly engaging collection of British newspapers from
1800 to 1900. The site contains over two million pages of 19th century
newspapers, though it is worth noting that many of them require the payment
of a fee. Visitors can browse complete articles from the "Penny Illustrated
Paper" and "The Graphic" free of charge, and they should also click on the
"Topical Articles" area. This area contains thematic essays on matters such
as the Sepoy Mutiny, the Napoleonic Wars, and the abolition of slavery. Each
essay also includes access to relevant articles from the newspapers of the
day. This area also includes detailed information on how best to use the
search engine in order to locate items of interest. [KMG]
