British Newspaper Archive Meets Page Target

Ahead of schedule Findmtpast's British Newspaper Archive Project has surpassed the 40 million page goal.

40,063,616 Pages

The goal was achieved with the digitization of 38,924 pages of the weekly Rugeley Times from 1926 to 1981. Rugeley is in south-central Staffordshire next to the River Trent.

The BNA Project, a joint initiative of Findmypast and The British Library, had the end of this year as the target date for reaching the 40 million target. Kudos for having succeeded despite the challenges of the pandemic.
