This week we added 89,720 pages to The Archive.  We have added one brand new titles and made updates to five existing titles, including two titles for our partner Trinity Mirror for Newcastle, bringing our coverage for that city up to the 1990s.

Joining The Archive for the first time this week are issues from The Showman, a short-lived title which was incorporated into The Music Hall and Theatre Review. This single sheet paper brought news of travelling troupes, circuses, menageries and fairs.  Discover the world of chair-vaulters, ladder wobblers and equilibrists in this fascinating paper.

Note: The Music Hall and Theatre Review is still being digitised and we hope to add more issues very soon.  The Showman was a single sheet paper, however our system does not like uneven numbers and inserts a blank page (which is not displayed) to balance the numbers.  There are 72 issues, and 72 pages of The Showman.

This week we have also added eleven years worth of issues to two Newcastle titles.  The Archive has six dedicated Newcastle titles.  With these titles you can now discover over 230 years of the history of the city, from 1764 to 1995.
