The record of more than 300 years of journalism, including coverage of
the Crimean and Boer Wars, will be put on the web by the publisher
BrightSolid.
The move will spare historians having to search the current hard copy
and microfilm collection.
The digital material will be made free to users at the main library site
at St Pancras, north London.
A charge will be levied for searches conducted from outside the library.
The British Library's archive contains about 750m newspaper pages,
including 52,000 local, regional, national and international titles.
