We have recently updated our early online journal collection with the second part of the British Periodicals Collection.

British Periodicals covers 460 journals published between the seventeenth century and the early 20th century. Access to the full text of the journals is available through page images and through full text searching. All titles are indexed in C19 nineteenth century index.

It is available through the catalogue here.
