For a number of years Archives & Collections at the Library of Birmingham have been working in collaboration with the British Library and the Centre for Printing History & Culture at Birmingham City University to digitise its copies of Aris’s Birmingham Gazette newspapers. Aris’s Birmingham Gazette was first printed in 1741 until 1888. This newspaper would become Birmingham’s only newspaper during these years and is widely regarded as one of the most important provincial eighteenth-century papers.
