About Historic Newspapers
How the archive works
Enter a date and the site shows which original papers it holds for that day. Titles include The Times, the Guardian, the Financial Times, the Daily Telegraph, the Daily Mirror and the Daily Mail. Depending on the date, stock reaches back as far as the 1800s. Every copy is an archived original from the day itself, never a reprint.
Books and gift sets
The personalised newspaper books gather original reports around one theme. Birthday books are built around a chosen date. Football history books follow clubs including Liverpool, Arsenal and Leeds United through the coverage of their big matches. Other titles cover turning points such as the world wars and the Moon landings.
Shipping and returns
Gift sets travel free within the UK, an express service is available, and the shop sends orders abroad as well. An unopened gift set in its original condition can be returned within 14 days. Questions go to [email protected], and the team replies within 12-24 hours on weekdays between 9am and 5pm. Visa, Mastercard, American Express and PayPal are all accepted.
