Summary

Thanks to digitisation, newspapers from the seventeenth to the twenty-first century have become an indispensable and accessible source for researchers. Through their pages, historians with a passion for a person or a place or a time or a topic can rediscover forgotten details and gain new insights into the society and values of bygone ages. This book provides plenty of practical advice for anyone intending to use old newspapers by outlining the strengths of newspapers as source material, revealing the drawbacks of newspapers as sources and giving ways to guard against them, tracing the development of the British newspaper industry, and much more.
