17th-18th century Burney Collection newspapers (online) added
November 21, 2008 - 3:24pm — mikeThe Burney Collection has been added to the primary sources available for student and faculty research.
The newspapers, pamphlets, and books gathered by the Reverend Charles Burney (1757-1817) represent the largest and most comprehensive collection of early English news media. The present digital collection, that helps chart the development of the concept of news and newspapers and the free press, totals almost 1 million pages and contains approximately 1,270 titles. Many of the Burney newspapers are well known, but many pamphlets and broadsides also included have remained largely hidden. The earliest publication is dated 1604 and the latest 1800.
