Two new resources

We have acquired two new resources. Both will provide automatic access on-campus and access is available via your LJMU username and password off-campus

Financial Times Historical Archives, 1886-2006 - A complete searchable facsimile run of the world's most authoritative daily business newspaper. Every article and advertisement ever printed in the paper can be searched and browsed individually and page by page.

and

Illustrated London News Historial Archives, 1842-2003 - With its debut in 1842 the Illustrated London News became the world's first illustrated weekly newspaper, sparking a revolution in journalism and news reporting. The publication presented a vivid picture of British and world events - including news of war, disasters, royalty, social affairs, the arts and science. Containing over 260,000 full colour pages, fully searchable and browseable.

Both of these new resources add depth to our expanding collection of newspapers
