REVIEWS


An archive as gripping as it is good. . . . The Economist has shown how backfile digitisation should be done.
― Mark Chillingworth, Information World Review
Furthermore, it is a bountiful source for students undertaking projects or researching dissertations. Published weekly since 1843 -- an unrivalled run -- The Economist is a fount of authoritative, but accessible, analysis of international political, social and economic developments. While business and finance receive extensive coverage, so do politics, wars, social issues, technology, personalities, and a host of other matters. Moreover, it is a treasure trove of statistical data.
― Dr. Richard Roberts, the Centre for Contemporary British History, Institute for Historical Research, London
