News past

The News newspaper ran 1805-1839

I have this vague plan to bring all of my blog posts under the one site. I have too many websites, either active or passive (but still kept live), and it is increasingly difficult (and costly) to keep on top of them all. Whether having all posts from different sites will work, I don’t know, but I bring across some from time to time, testing the waters just that little bit more each time.

So it is that I have copied several posts dating 2013-2018 from the Newsroom blog, which I maintain for my day job at the British Library. Some posts on the site I have reproduced here before now; others are merely announcements or project reports, which I have left alone. Below is the list of posts from The Newsroom that can be found here, in reverse chronological order. Maybe there is some value in having all of these things in one place. We’ll see.

  • Collecting news (2018) – British news history and the collecting of news
