Can anyone please give me the link to the British Newspapers archive 1800-1900, which I have unfortunately lost due to allowing my dear daughter to access a virus on my computer! I think it is a trial version....

Thanks very much for that - a dodgy e mail opened by my daughter wiped a lot of my desktop info.

No newspaper less than 100 years old was digitised for access by UK Higher Education and Further Education communities to avoid copyright issues, and BL policy is to proceed only with the agreement of rights holders and their representatives. Owners of titles still publishing may be digitising or have plans to digitise their back runs and it would not make economic sense to duplicate their efforts. The academic panel at the core of the project that steered the selection of newspapers decided to assess the value of all of the titles from the original list from the perspective of potential usage by the Higher Education and Further Education communities.
