Special Offer: British Newspaper Archive for just £1

The online British Newspaper Archive (BNA) holds editions from 103* Irish newspapers in its database, as well as 431 publications from England, Scotland and Wales. The Irish papers alone span 1709 to 1900 – the vast majority are for the early to mid 19th-century – and include papers published in Belfast, Dublin, Cork and many towns across the island.

If you haven't already explored this huge database, here's a special offer that will be hard to resist: enjoy your first month for just £1.

To take advantage of this discount (the standard price is £12.95), just click/tap the image above, type the promotion code 1939TRYBNA1FOR1 in the box, and select the monthly subscription option. You'll see the cost change to £1 and can then proceed to the payment page.

At the end of your initial 1-month period your subscription will be automatically renewed at the normal price of £12.95. If you don't want the subscription to renew, un-tick the 'auto-renew my subscription’ box in the My Account section of the site.

* The 103rd title made its way into the BNA collection last weekend. It's the Commercial Herald. So far, only editions published from January 1869 to December 1870 are available to search, but the holding will eventually span 1848 to 1872.
