Just a update given my avid interest in newsprint I've been back in touch with the British Library and just received the update on "whats in" the 1800-1900 Digitisation project, with planned launch this September. Plenty to interest even the casual reader of historic newspapers, the Illustrated Police News and Graphic will probably steal the show, but the rare Era is quite inspired ! Also a fair sprinkle of short run Political Papers relating to Chartism (having a Chartist ancestor always of interest) and Cobbets Weekly Register. The selection should hopefully give a good backbone for further Digitisations.
