Our second new database is also from Gale Publishing and it allows our users to read the pages of the London Times from the years 1785 – 1985. See how Charles Dickens actually appeared to his contemporaries as written in the newspaper of his day!
The Times (London) is the world’s oldest continuously published newspaper. Readers — world leaders and the general public — have consistently turned to The Times for its in‐depth news coverage, parliamentary reports and comment, editorial opinion and unique view of history from the major reporters and editors of the period. The Times Digital Archive, 1785–1985 allows users to search and view online this award‐winning newspaper in its original published context.
