Project description

The Nineteenth Century was a period of revolutionary change and expansion. Britain was one of the world’s first industrial superpowers and developed a press to feed the demands of its increasingly literate and leisured population.

19th Century UK Periodicals Online is a major new multi-part series which covers the events, lives, values and themes that shaped the 19th century world. It provides an invaluable fully-searchable facsimile resource for the study of British life in the 19th century – from art to business, and from children to politics. Few of the materials in this extensive online collection have ever been reissued, in any format since original publication. All the original colour work has been specially captured for this programme.

The complete collection will offer more than 600 periodical titles to be published in five series totalling 6 million pages altogether.

Titles included have been newly identified and selected by leading scholars in 19th century studies: their choices reflect the broad scope and thrust of research and teaching in the 21st century.

A licence for the content would require a substantial JISC investment which will consequently benefit the academic community financially. Before such an investment could be made, evidence is required about how the JISC community would use 19th Century UK Periodicals Online and its applications in education and research.

If individual institutions were to purchase the digitised images directly from Thomson Gale, the cost would be around £30,000 per institution for the content of Series 1 alone. In addition to the fee for the content institutions would also have to pay the annual access fee.

JISC and Thomson Gale invite expressions of interest from all institutions – you will need to indicate if your institution would pay the access fee and when you would take up the opportunity. Institutions would be expected to sign up to the following access fees for a minimum of three years:

JISC Band	Annual Access Fee per Institution
A	£325
B	£295
C	£260
D	£230
E	£195
F-J	£165
