REVIEWS
“This resource is intended for academic audiences. It would be most useful to researchers with an interest in United Kingdom history in the seventeenth, eighteenth, and nineteenth centuries. However, because the United Kingdom played such a prominent role in world affairs during this time period, the collection offers broad-scope value to academic researchers in other geographic and/or subject areas (women’s rights and suffrage, culture, political reform, etc.). The resource content is excellent—as are the tools for search and discovery.”
“Overall, this is a wonderfully rich resource which has all the benefits of a well-funded, exhaustively researched project designed with the views of potential users well to the fore. The process of academic consultation has produced a selection of material which is certainly of enormous value for those wishing to better understand the language, layout and political contexts of the 19th-century newspaper across the British Isles.”
