Hot off the press – titles added this week

We added 93,998 pages to the Archive this week.  After our bumper week of 13 brand new titles last week we spent this week consolidating some of our existing titles. We have added multiple years to two of our eleven sports titles, and added years to London, West Yorkshire and Shropshire titles.

Using the Archive for Sports Research

 

The Athletic News was founded in 1875 and we currently have a selection of years between 1875 and 1931 with plans to publish a complete run.  The Sportsman founded a decade earlier in 1865 ran until 1924 and when digitisation is complete we will hold a full run of this title.
