Annual Register™ Online

The complete full text back-files of The Annual Register™ (http://annualregister.chadwyck.co.uk/info/home.htm) are available online through an interface that allows facsimile pages of the original print edition to be scanned, downloaded and printed. This wide-ranging resource will appeal to a variety of readers from scholars of history, law, literature, religion, arts and sports to the local reader in the local library, given the rich contemporary information that chroniclers of The Annual Register have recorded for 249 years and is particularly pertinent in the year 2009, in celebration of the life and works of Charles Darwin, 200 years after his birth.
