The Spectator archive, with 180 years worth of content, goes live following delays
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.
