Trial access to Historical Newspapers

UCL has trial access to the following ProQuest Historical Newspapers until 08th January 2016:

Chinese Newspapers Collection

South China Morning Post

The Times of India

These historical newspapers provide genealogists, researchers and scholars with online, easily-searchable first-hand accounts and coverage of the politics, society and events of the time.

Every issue of each title includes the complete paper, cover-to-cover, with full-page and article images in easily downloadable PDF format. Front-page headlines, classified ads, marriage and death announcements, comic strips, reviews, display advertising, editorials, birth notices, photographs, and many other article types combine to help today’s researchers not only understand the news of yesteryear, but also the context in which it was made.

Please send feedback on these resources to your subject librarian.
