Times posted a net archives 1785

One of the world's most famous newspaper, the British The Times, has made available its archive of all issues from 1785 ( base year ) to 1985. In order to touch the history of one of the oldest in the world of newspapers and journalists to get acquainted with the materials of past years, you must register on the site. However, due to technical overlays are not available for viewing only releases from December 1, 1978 to November 12, 1979.

Fragments of old newspapers are presented in the form in which they have survived: for example, can be found with an overview of developments in the revolutionary Russia of 1920, or an article illuminating Munich Agreement. Materials can be easily saved, but if you want - and print. At the moment the site is rather slow, indicating that, apparently, about the huge influx of those wishing to explore the rich archives of the newspaper.

Currently, the archive is available for free, but according to the creators, after ' some time ', access will be by subscription. The newspaper The Times is one of the assets of News Corporation Rupert Murdoch, who last year also promised free access to all materials belonging to him The Wall Street Journal.

Recall that a full archive of newspaper articles in 2004 posted a net U.S. The New York Times. In Russia, with that, as with many other, more difficult - because of a few major changes of policy during the twentieth century, many newspapers have ceased to exist, and in the best case settled in dusty state archives. Vedomosti ', handing out a modest - on the background of foreign colleagues - archive personal property, look at their background is absurd.
