Ancestry Adds Illustrated London News Selected Issues

There's a mini-bonanza of Anglo-Canadian resources added to Ancestry overnight. The complete list is below. One of the highlights is selected issues of the Illustrated London News

You could surf hours away just browsing. Naturally there are lots of illustration including this one of troops on Metcalfe Street in Ottawa on their way to war in South Africa.

The 1847 volume includes coverage of the Irish Potato Famine, and much more. Did you know that on 1 January 1847 the price of beer in London was raised to one penny per pot; and on the following day the US government imposed a tax on tea and coffee (where were descendants of the Boston Tea Party rebels, or ancestors of today's Tea Party?)
