Daily Telegraph Front Page Archives

Since its launch in 1855, the Telegraph has risen to be on the UK’s most popular broadsheets and is renowned worldwide as a reliable and ground-breaking news source. This is what makes an original Daily Telegraph such an interesting gift for any occasion, with our Daily Telegraph archives dating back to 1900.

A Daily Telegraph newspaper allows the recipient to ponder over the reports and coverage from a bygone age, giving them the gift of nostalgia. Discovering what happened on the day you were born is easily achieved by looking at the front page and headlines. Paying attention to the smaller details in our Telegraph back issues, such as advertisements, opens up a unique view of what life was like at the time.

Daily Telegraph Supplements

The Saturday edition of the Daily Telegraph currently contains the ‘Weekend’ section (includes puzzles and features on food, drink and the outdoors), plus the ‘Sport’, ‘Your Money’, ‘Review’, ‘Travel’, ‘Property’, ‘Gardening’ and ‘Motoring’ newspaper supplements. There are also two magazines; the ‘Telegraph Magazine’ (containing features, and regular items on food and the home) and the ‘Television & Radio’ magazine. Current weekday newspaper supplements include the separate ‘Business’ and ‘Sport’ sections, which are both published from Monday to Friday. A ‘Jobs’ supplement is also included with the paper on Thursdays.

insights from our archivist

These aren’t replicas. They’re the actual newspapers that sat on newsstands up to 125 years ago. The one you buy could be the last copy in existence.

Prices can vary for several reasons, like popularity of a specific day, whether the paper is local or national, the paper’s age, and the number of copies left.

Missing papers give us a window into history. If a paper isn’t available for the date you’re after, it could be because that newspaper was on strike during the period.

FLYING OFF THE NEWSSTANDS

Bestsellers leave public ‘clamouring for copies’, reports suggest.
