Vi bekrefter ikke spesifikke uttalelser siden en forfatters mening er hens egen, men vi kan merke en anmeldelse som "bekreftet" når vi kan bekrefte at det har vært kontakt med virksomheten. Mer informasjon

For å beskytte plattformens integritet vil alle anmeldelser på plattformen—bekreftet eller ikke—bli undersøkt av vår automatiserte programvare (tilgjengelig hele døgnet).

Informasjon om virksomheten

Skrevet av virksomheten

The British Newspaper Archive is the largest online collection of historical British and Irish newspaper pages, created through a partnership between Findmypast and the British Library to preserve, digitise and share one of the world’s most remarkable newspaper collections. Since launching in 2011, the project has transformed access to the British Library’s vast holdings, bringing millions of searchable newspaper pages to researchers, historians, family history enthusiasts and curious readers around the world. Spanning from the 1600s to the modern era and covering Britain, Ireland, the Commonwealth and beyond, the archive contains millions of stories that capture everyday life, major world events and everything in between. From birth, marriage and death notices to reports of political movements, sporting triumphs, court cases and wartime experiences, the collection offers a unique window into the past. Working from the British Library’s newspaper facilities at Boston Spa, Yorkshire, specialist scanning teams carefully digitise newspapers from both original paper volumes and microfilm, using advanced technology to preserve even the rarest and most fragile titles. Supported by partnerships with libraries, archives, publishers and technology providers, the British Newspaper Archive continues to grow, adding new pages every week and ensuring that history as it happened remains accessible for generations to come.

You have just ruined a source I have…

You have just ruined a source I have been using for years. It is now far too complicated. Is there any way I can search under the old format?

Why did I not know this was going to happen until I found I had to log in to a new web page? I would have appreciated a warning e mail.

I can see from the reviews page that I am not alone in being horrified by the new format. It would seem that you may have also hidden several people's long-time research. I hope it can be retrieved.

I have read your patronising replies which suggest that we only need to read a blog for everything to become clear. We should not need a blog if the new format is as wonderful as you clearly believe. I tried an advanced search last night and it took ages longer than previously. You have removed the side bars which were the very quick means of narrowing the results down to a specific place and time. Now we have to use the irritating and time-consuming drop down filters.

Please tell me that you are keeping this under review. I hope to see many of the original search tools reinstated as soon as possible.

If something is not broken, never believe you must fix it.

First class customer service

For the first time, I needed to contact the British Newspaper Archive for help after the launch of their new website, as I couldn't locate my saved articles. Jamie responded almost immediately and provided clear, easy-to-follow instructions on how to navigate the new interface.

In an age where email communication is instant, I wasn't expecting such a quick response, nor such a helpful and detailed one. Sadly, truly excellent customer service seems to be becoming less common, which made this all the more refreshing.

The British Newspaper Archive exceeded my expectations, and Jamie was a superb ambassador for the company. Thank you for such prompt, professional and friendly assistance.

Website has been ruined by its latest format

I use this site regularly and have always found it user friendly, until now! They have changed the entire website and have made it far too complicated! Don’t bother with it! Save your money and spend it elsewhere, with a hopefully more user friendly website

Mislead dates/over-selling

Be aware when using this site that vast periods are missing from publications and this is not indicated in the Publication Title selection. Three examples. The Aberdeen Press and Journal indicates the dates 1748 to 2005 are available, but the 12 years from 1/1/1951 to 1/1/1963 are not on the Archive. The Aberdeen Evening Express which the BNA gives dates of 1879 - 2005 has 20 years missing from 1/1/1919 to 1/1/1939. Finally the Kilmarnock Standard, 1875 - 1994 apparently, has 25 years missing between 28/12/1952 and 5/1/1978. There are probably examples for other publications too. These are not odd missing editions and should be clearly indicated otherwise it is easy to assume that there was no report of whatever is searched for whereas what is actually the case is that the BNA don't actually have the papers that they are tell you that they do. Poor, confusing and ambiguous.

Dear Jim,

Thank you for your detailed feedback.

We understand it can be frustrating when there are gaps in coverage. While the publication date ranges shown in our title listings reflect the overall span of issues held within the archive, selecting a publication will display a ‘More Details’ section containing additional information about the title and its available coverage.

Here are a few examples for the publications mentioned:

I signed up simply to download one particular newspaper page that I needed to quote from for my studies, but first I needed to find the exact page; after clicking on and viewing three pages I was suddenly presented with paying options! The site offers limited 'free' access but is (deliberately?) unclear about what the limits are! I've gained nothing from using this website and am not happy about its false promises.

Hi Darren,

Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry that you were unable to find the page you needed within the 3 free pages allowance and that the service did not meet your expectations on this occasion.

In addtion, to 3 free page views after registering there are a number of pages that are always free to view:
https://www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk/search/results?AccessType=Free+To+View

If you wish to continue accessing more content beyond these limits, a paid option is available. Alternatively, you may want to try a local library to see if they have access to our library edition subscription that you can use.
