I’m interested in all the stuff around newspaper advertising, so is opening up some new resources for me!

Thanks Liam. I’d hoped to look at the ABC Index to the Advertising Press today, but a post-cyber attack catalogue glitch means it will be tomorrow. I’ve checked T.B Browne’s Provincial Newspaper Circular, but despite being very interesting, it’s not that! The hunt continues…

I’ve ordered a couple of things to look at, but it would be great to see a few more pictures.

Do you have more images or reasons to suspect 1881? I’m happy to call some stuff up to look if that helps? Browne had his own advertising agency and produced a few guides and circulars. Feel free to DM with more info.

I don’t think the colour lasted very long (as was so often the case). But would need to go back and check.

(If you're a UK based historian, or just History-curious, and don't know about the IHR, you are missing a treat). Over 50 fortnightly seminars (most also available online) during the academic year, and much more. Visit the Institute and its library if you're in London. And it's free. 2/2

They were actually great once I got to speak to someone-but their setup at the airport was absolutely chaotic. I’ve made it home, but have now fully succumbed to the lurgy I was fighting. Hope your journey was a lot more straightforward.

This, so much! I find it hard to recommend working in the heritage sector, despite loving it, because it’s nearly impossible to afford to live while doing it!

There was a lot of confusion about transit visas. So in the end they moved me onto another flight which is later but direct. So spending a strange day in the airport 🤣
All the AA flights seem to be delayed today. I hope you make it home without too much difficulty.

Changes of title were common during this period, & often indicated mergers (this was a merger between The Correspondent & The Public Cause),or changes of management. All titles have been digitised together by the BL & are free to view: www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk/titles/publi...
