Eighteenth Century Journals

A Portal to Newspapers and Periodicals, c1685-1815
DescriptionDigitized image collection of newspapers and periodicals, 1685-1815. "This Portal brings together rare journals printed between c1685 and 1815, illuminating all aspects of eighteenth-century social, political and literary life. Many are ephemeral, lasting only for a handful of issues, others run for several years. Topics covered are extremely wide-ranging and include: the writings of Sir Isaac Newton; the French Revolution; reviews of literature and fashion throughout Europe; political debates; and coffee house gossip and discussion."

The portal provides integrated access to Sections 1 & II of ECJ.

  • Eighteenth Century Journals I contains material from the Hope Collection at the Bodleian Library, Oxford. It includes "95 rare journals printed between 1693 and 1799, combining major publications with more ephemeral works to underline the broad variety of eighteenth century print journalism."
  • Eighteenth Century Journals II contains material from the Harry Ransom Research Center, University of Texas, which "holds one of the finest collections of 17th and 18th century newspapers and periodicals in the world. These holdings were documented in British Newspapers and Periodicals, 1632-1800, compiled by Powell Stewart in 1950... The titles chosen for this project have been screened carefully against, EEBO, Early English Newspapers and ECCO so that there is minimal overlap with these projects. The material reproduced in this new digital project covers many rare items not held by the British Library."
