Verlagsinformation :: Publisher's information

Seventeenth and Eighteenth Century Burney Newspapers Collection represents the largest single collection of early modern English news media available from the British Library and includes more than 1,000 pamphlets, proclamations, newsbooks and newspapers from the period. This collection helps researchers chart the development of the newspaper as we now know it, beginning with irregularly published transcriptions of Parliamentary debates and proclamations to coffee house newsbooks, finally arriving at the newspaper in its current form.

A well-known collection at the British Library, the original Burney volumes are in fragile condition and are restricted from reading-room use except as microfilm. Through a partnership with the British Library, Gale has digitally scanned each page of this collection, and with Seventeenth and Eighteenth Century Burney Newspapers Collection brings these rare documents to scholars around the world in an easy-to-use, full-text searchable digital format.

Features/Benefits

  • Includes rare titles like An Account of the Publick Transactions in Christendom, Bath Chronicle, Bell's Weekly Messenger, Calcutta Chronicle and General Advertiser, London Penny Gazette, Mercurius Politicus Comprising the Summ of All Intelligence, Moderate Intelligencer, Original Weekly Journal, and Whitehall Evening Post.
  • Essential to the study of British history and culture at crucial periods in the nation's development as a world power, this collection gives new freshness and immediacy to historical events and reflects the cultural trends, political currents and social problems of the day.
  • 17th & 18th Century Burney Collection is an excellent complement to Eighteenth Century Collections Online, Making of the Modern World, and 19th Century British Library Newspapers.


Part II is Now Available

Part II consists of entirely new full-colour scans of the original volumes in the British Library. Many of these documents are fragile and highly prized by those studying this historical period. Items in this new collection include:


  • ‘Missing’ Burney: items from within the Burney collection which were not included in the original microfilm that the digital collection was created, comprising more than 9,000 pages. With Part II, these lost pages are now available to explore.
  • ‘Additional Burney’: items outside of the original ‘core’ Burney collection, more seventeenth- and eighteenth-century century newspaper titles and issues, that were marked by the British Library as “Add.Burney”. It adds more than 100 new titles, including the Public Hue and Cry, and 130 expansions to titles in Part I of Burney.
