据外媒报道，大英图书馆将其档案中的报纸副本数字化的项目将发布一百万页报纸作为免费资源。英国报纸档案馆（BNA）拥有超过4400万页报纸，主要是英国和爱尔兰的报纸，时间范围为1699年到2009年，占大英图书馆所有报纸的不到10%。目前，每月约有50万页被添加到BNA中。 目前，访问该服务需要订阅，因为这有助于资助扫描和记录添加到在线档案的每份报纸的费用。不过，为了向研究人员开放更多的档案，大英图书馆已经免费发布了100万页报纸的数字版本，并承诺在接下来的四年里每年再发布100万页。因此，大英图书馆总共将发布500万页的旧报纸文章的数字版本。 大英图书馆不会增加所有的报纸，因为该机构工作人员表示，虽然他们认为1881年以前的报纸属于公共领域，但这并不意味着将免费提供所有1881年以前的数字化内容，因为档案馆要靠订阅来支付其成本。 对于免费服务，有158份报纸提供，时间范围为1720年到1880年。后者的日期很重要。所有构成"免费观看"的报纸都是已过版权期的。大英图书馆在确定一份报纸何时可被视为完全失去版权时，会遵守一个 “安全日期”，即出版日期后140年。 要使用这项服务，用户需要在BNA网站注册一个账户，然后搜索功能使用起来相当简单，而且高级搜索确实有助于缩小搜索结果。 以下是最初"免费浏览"的一百万页的所有报纸标题的完整列表，包括标题的变化。开始和结束日期是指正在免费提供的内容，而不一定是全部的内容。 The Age (1825-1843) Alston Herald, and East Cumberland
