大英图书馆发布100万页报纸的数字版本 作为免费资源

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。
