REVIEWS


We live in financial times, past, present and future — the Financial Times Historical Archive is the essential, definitive resource for knowledge and understanding of global history, business, finance and politics over the last 120 years.
― Professor Richard Roberts, director of the Centre for Contemporary British History, University of London
Studying what happened in the past is a valuable tool for politicians, researchers, and people throughout finance and business as they try to make sense of what is happening and plan for future recovery. . . . This is where newspapers like the Financial Times can help. It has charted finance and business news around the world since its launch in 1888. Being a daily newspaper, it also provides context, such as who were the prime ministers and presidents at the time, as well as any conflicts, business scandals and political uncertainties.
― Siân Harris, Research Information article
Invaluable access to what for many years has been one of the world's most prestigious and authoritative newspapers.
― David Kynaston, visiting professor of history at Kingston University and author of The Financial Times: A Centenary History
