British Library creates a "national memory' with digital newspaper archive; Guardian, 5/30/11

Josh Halliday, Guardian; British Library creates a "national memory' with digital newspaper archive:

"The British Library is cautious in its approach to the thorny issue of copyright, initially drawing the line at digitising post-1900 material. The "national memory" still bristles at the mention of James Murdoch, who described himself as "very, very concerned" about the library's plans in May last year. However, archiving a wealth of material from the first world war and Britain's burgeoning suffragette movement remains the ambition."
