The Spectator has launched its online archive which will contain every article from the magazine’s 180 year history.
The archive, delayed by over a year, includes the magazine’s first leader from 1828 and has been divided into decades and years in a bid to make it more accessible to readers.
Writing in a blog on The Spectator website about the launch of the archive, online editor Sebastain Payne wrote: “Digitising 1.5 million pages has been no easy feat and it remains a work in progress — we’re aware there are still a few gaps in the beta archive. “
Payne added that, of course, the content from the last five years could also still be found on the publications regular website as well.
