Essential research tool
The British Newspaper Archive is an essential tool for anyone exploring the part. Short of going to a library and spending hours looking through old papers, with no index, there is no alternative. The index, though not always 100% reliable, due to misprints and odd spellings speeds and simplifies the whole process of looking for obscure facts (18th century whalers for me). Along the way it is easy to become side tracked by other fascinating stories but that all adds to the pleasure of the search. I thought my subscription had been suspended which was a disaster but your assistant Sophie soon sorted out the problem and I can now dive back into my whaling ships and the Arctic

Nothing to be Alarmed About, a study of polio in Britain in 1938
I have used the BNA in a study of the outbreak of polio in England and Wales in 1938. As a source of evidence it is unique and invaluable, providing names, dates and locations of victims of all ages. I collated this with evidence drawn from the reports for that year written by local medical officers of health, archived in the Welcome Collection. The BNA material was easy to access and transcribe. There were very occasional issues over legibility and the formulation of search crtieria but no problems that I had to raise with the Archive. There was so much evidence available that it never occurred to me to wish I had access to newspapers not yet included in the Archive. I would urge all local (or non-local) history researchers to visit the Archive and check what it might offer them.

Excellent research tool
I have found The British Newspaper Archive to be invaluable for historical research. When there was a snag in renewing my pay-as-you-go package, I felt at a loss at how to go about making the payment. Fortunately, Sophie, of BNA support, diagnosed the problem and I was soon up and running again for which I was very grateful.

Got there in the end! ...
Ryan on email was very helpful when I ran into difficulties signing in to the website. I didn't need to subscribe for my first three articles and he sent me a link. A bit confusing without sending an email to start with as the website asks you to create an account and give your bank details, when you don't have to if you only want one piece of information.

I find the Archive expensive. I only make occasional searches - usually abortive! - and it is not worth a subscription.

Hi Roy,
Thank you for your feedback.
We understand that a subscription may not suit everyone’s needs and sorry that you found that option expensive.
We do offer a Pay as you go option which we find is suited for those that need access occasionally - this might be something more suitable for your personal needs?
Alternatively, you may want to check with local libraries as they may have free access to our site there.

7 out of 10 for this search archive.
Fairly comprehensive to a degree. Rather surprised they had not got copies of a prominent UK daily. Not overwhelmed by the level of reproduction, in particular the press pictures. Very prompt though to reply to queries. I'm continuing with my membership period.

I have tried to pay a one off subscription, had my bank approve it using facial recognition, then received an “Error” message on the BNA website. Even using two different bank cards and 3 separate devices, the same thing happens. Their suggestion now is for me to join PayPal which I don’t want to do. Also, their website says 3 pages can be accessed free of charge. I have accessed only one and they still wish me to pay £22 to read the outcome of a particular trial. An obstructive and inadequate service.

My partner has tried to access the archives but her attempts to process payment is always declined. A young lady in customer services constantly says it’s a fraud issue and simply tells her to try again. That is so unhelpful. She does that with the same result.
I do not understand why employees in these organizations are unable to accept responsibility for their own systems not working. As Einstein said, the definition of insanity is trying the same thing over again and expecting a different result.
So unhelpful, frankly.
