The Times Digital Archive 1785-1985 provides convenient access to a library of back issues of this renowned newspaper online. By taking the microfilm collection of The Times (London) and producing a high-resolution digital format with searchable images, The Times Digital Archive 1785-1985 represents unprecedented access to one of the most highly regarded resources for the study of 19th and 20th century history. It can be used across a range of subject areas including:
history - for the study of the role of patriotism in late 19th and early-20th century politics can be followed through articles on the Boer War, land reform, and Irish and Welsh nationalism
housing studies - to support study for the examination ‘Contemporary UK Housing Policy’, users can search and select articles on ‘the right to buy’ and read in particular about the role and extent of state intervention and shifts in the pattern of tenure, eg the vision of a ‘property-owning democracy’ which witnessed policies such as the selling of council houses
sociology - to analyse the effects of the mass media, especially on media stereotypes and how they have changed over time, their relation to crime and deviance, the rise of popular culture and the press reporting of protest and social movements
Please note: This new agreement is for one year only. In August 2008, following changes to the Times Digital Archive, there will be a new multi-year agreement put in place. Please contact the JISC Collections Helpdesk if you have any queries.
