- Book Synopsis
- - Thanks to digitisation, newspapers from the seventeenth to the twenty-first century have become an indispensable and accessible source for researchers. Through their pages, historians with a passion for a person or a place or a time or a topic can rediscover forgotten details and gain new insights into the society and values of bygone ages. - Historical Research Using British Newspapers provides plenty of practical advice for anyone intending to use old newspapers by: - * outlining the strengths of newspapers as source material - - * revealing the drawbacks of newspapers as sources and giving ways to guard against them - - * tracing the development of the British newspaper industry - - * showing the type of information that can be found in newspapers and how it can be used - - * identifying the best newspapers to start with when researching a particular topic - - * suggesting methods to locate the most relevant articles available - - * demonstrating techniques for collating, analysing and interpreting information - - * showing how to place newspaper reports in their wider context - - In addition nine case studies are included, showing how researchers have already made productive use of newspapers to gain insights that were not available from elsewhere. -
