Today, December 1st 2009, 119 years of global business and financial news from the Financial Times will be available through a unique digital archive. Gale, part of Cengage Learning, is launching the Financial Times Historical Archive 1888-2006, offering researchers and historians online access to the complete run of the world’s most authoritative daily business newspaper, from its first issue in 1888 to the end of 2006, with additional annual updates. The resource will make its debut preview today at The Online Information Show, London, Olympia.
Approximately 790,000 fully searchable pages, including every article, advertisement and market listing, are now viewable individually and in the context of the full page and issue on the day they were published. Available as a subscription or one-off purchase to all academic, public and government libraries, the archive has been created from existing microfilm master copies and each item has been categorised by subject or topic to allow fast retrieval and review of relevant articles.
