Birth date Newspaper Archive
We have a large archive of birth date newspapers located in Wigtown in Scotland. Wigtown is, coincidentally, Scotland’s official Book Town which is perhaps an apt location. Here we house nearly 7 million birth date newspapers, a collection that has been slowly put together over the years. We have bought newspaper collections from all over the world, mainly from libraries, universities, Government departments, and also from private individuals. This has enabled us to ensure that we have original newspapers from most birth dates.
Our oldest newspaper is from 1685. However, only newspapers that are less than one hundred years old are sold as birth date gifts. The oldest birth date newspaper we have supplied was to celebrate a 110th birthday. But generally, after one hundred years, our old newspapers are sold for historical interest.
Birthdate Newspaper Titles
We hold a very large range of Birthdate Newspaper titles. Our archive holds an extensivestock of birthdate newspapers still available today, like the Times, The Telegraph, the Daily Mail, the Sun, the Daily Mirror – and many more.
However, it is fascinating to see some of the Birthdate Newspapers no longer in circulation – newspapers from a bygone era that have either long since folded or merged with another newspaper title. Examples of some great newspapers from the past include the Daily Sketch (merged with the Daily Mail in 1963), the Daily Herald (became the Sun in 1964), the Picture Post (closed in 1957), and the Morning Post (merged with the Daily Telegraph in 1937).
All of these newspapers, from the someone’s birthdate, are a nostalgic gift with which to celebrate a birthday. A gift that genuinely emanated from someone’s date of birth is a very special gift indeed.
Gift Presentations for your Birth Date Newspaper
Our birth date newspapers come with a choice of gift presentations. The choice starts with our Gift Box. However you can also choose to have your birth date newspaper in a Frame, in a Presentation Folder, in red satin lined gift box or presented with a bottle of Champagne, Malt Whisky, or other premium spirit brand. You can make your gift, to celebrate a birth date, very special indeed.
Personalised Birthdate Gift
Every Birthdate newspaper comes with a personalised Certificate of Authenticity, on which Historic Newspapers guarantees the authenticity of the newspaper. These Certificates can be personalised with the name of the recipient, the occasion being celebrated and a short message. Personalising your birthdate newspaper gift makes it even more special.
Other Occasions
Our original newspapers are also popular for other occasions, particularly for Anniversaries, retirements, leaving presents, and for Christenings.
