Manchester Libraries now have on line access to the Manchester Guardian historical database.
The Guardian (1821-2003) and its sister paper, The Observer (1791-2003) give readers on-line access to facts, firsthand accounts, and opinions of the day about the most significant and fascinating political, business, sports, literary, and entertainment events from the past two centuries. From Napoleon's defeat at Waterloo to the Russian Revolution to Nelson Mandela's release from prison, these British historical newspapers bring history to life for researchers. The Guardian, formerly, the Manchester Guardian, has a long association with the city.
