Pam Cerutti has published a review of the popular the British Newspapers web site. Pam writes:
Made available by Gale, part of Cengage Learning, The British Library and the Joint Information Systems Committee, the British Newspapers website at http://newspapers.bl.uk provides lots of information to help put into timely context ancestors who lived in England, Scotland, Ireland, and Wales during a 100-year span. It has fully searchable newspapers as well as a timeline of major events, articles about aspects of life in those times, and articles about both people in the news and the newspapers themselves. A good amount of information is available for free; however, views of most full newspaper articles are offered by purchase of a modestly-priced pass for either 24 hours or 7 days.
The review includes a limited-time offer for 50% off your purchase of a full day pass or week pass to this great web site.
You can read Pam's full review in UpFront, the National Genealogical Society's newsletter/blog. You do not need to be a member of the society to read the online newsletter.
