By Sarah Gilmore, on 10 June 2021

UCL has trial access to African Newspapers: The British Library collection until 9th July 2021.

African Newspapers: The British Library collection features nearly 60 newspapers from across the African continent, all published before 1900. Originally archived by the British Library, these rare historical documents are now available in an online collection. From culture to history to geopolitics, the pages of these newspapers offer research opportunities for students and scholars interested in topics related to Africa.

Titles include: Egyptian Gazette (Cairo), Journal Franco-Ethiopien (Djibouti); Central African Times (Blantyre, Malawi), Commercial Gazette (Port Louis, Mauritius), Times of Marocco (Morocco), St. Helena Guardian (Jamestown, St. Helena) and Express en Oranjevrijstaatsch Advertentieblad (Bloemfontein, South Africa).
