Scotsman archive

Every word of The Scotsman newspaper from 1817 to 1950 is now available online and searchable. It is the first complete searchable digital archive of a UK newspaper. Searching is free but you must subscribe to view the full article. Rates are reasonable, payable by credit card, and cater for occasional users. A quick search for a complex subject worked very well, and a search for five known articles found all of them.
