As the world’s largest newspaper archive, we have over 200,000 genuine newspapers spanning over 100 years of history.

Newspapers provide an unparalleled glimpse into the past.

This preserves the history of the paper you’re reading, taking you back to the exact event or moment and seeing how the media and public reacted at the time.

Newspapers are acknowledgements of the past, representing society and how far the world has advanced since. However, by far the greatest demand we have is for archive newspaper gifts, suitable for all manner of occasions, most commonly birthdays, anniversaries and life-milestones

Buy Archive Newspapers at Great Prices

Archive newspapers make particularly spectacular keepsakes for those with a great interest in the past. The recipient tends to find an invaluable resonance relating to a certain date or headline, triggering nostalgic moments from their own lives. A single newspaper can give the individual a direct connection with their past, be it the news, latest fashion, gossip, sporting events or prices of everyday items. Due to the size of our newspaper archive, we can supply an archive newspaper from nearly any date. Simply enter your special date of interest at the top of this page and you will see the full range of newspaper titles available.

Historic Newspapers has a full-time archivist who can conduct research on our newspaper archive. We do a lot of work for media companies relating to show development, as well as commissioned research by various institutions on specific themes. We are also asked to do research for members of the public who are looking for a past newspaper article – often an article in which either they or one of their relatives featured. So long as we are given a clear brief as to where to look, we can find the article being sought after.

A really unique gift idea, especially for a newspaper subscriber. Customized authenticity certificate is a nice bonus too. The 50 year old copy of the NYT was fragile, but the long edge had been reinforced so recipient was able to open to read without fear it would tear. Quick communication and delivery. Presentation for a gift was great.

The recipient was a 40 year old male on his birthday. Everyone at the party was interested as to where I got it. The birthday boy couldnt believe I found a paper from his birthdate year. He was astounded by this newspaper!

I thoroughly enjoyed reading through it. Had to be careful not to tear it. The prices were very interesting. It brought back a lot of memories. I had forgotten how big the classifieds used to be, as it was the only way to sell something.
