Thanks to a request from staff in History, the Library currently has trial access to the newly launched extension years for The Scotsman Historical Archive<\/strong> from ProQuest Historical Newspapers. While the Library already has access to The Scotsman Archive covering the years 1817-1950, the new extension module increases coverage up to 2002.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

You can access ProQuest Historical Newspapers: The Scotsman Archive (1817-2002)<\/strong> on the E-resources Trials page<\/a><\/strong>. Access is available until 4 December 2024<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Founded in 1817, The Scotsman<\/em> was established as a liberal weekly to challenge the establishment\u2019s dominance of Edinburgh\u2019s press. With a commitment to \u201cimpartiality,
\nfirmness, and independence,\u201d the newspaper quickly rose to prominence for its bold reporting and objective stance. Transitioning to a daily in 1855, The Scotsman<\/em> has since covered significant historical moments, from the Highland Clearances and the Industrial Revolution to world wars and the RMS Lancastria disaster.<\/p>\n

You can access ProQuest Historical Newspapers: The Scotsman Archive (1817-2002)<\/strong> via the\u00a0E-resources trials page<\/strong><\/a>.
