For decades, even hundreds of years after publication, researchers of all kinds
have turned to newspapers for information relating to a wide variety of
research needs including historical, cultural, social and political trends. The
British Library Newspapers Online site (www.bl.uk/britishnewspapers), part of
the JISC Digitisation Programme, aims to make this information available to
researchers, who can now explore over three million pages of 18th and 19th
century newspapers online.

The conference is being organised jointly by the British Library and JISC and
will include a keynote talk, presentations and panel discussions with
academics and other researchers. Further details on speakers and how to
book your place will be released shortly
