If you’ve missed a recent article you wanted to read or require more copies of a certain feature, Historic Newspapers provide the UK’s most comprehensive back issue newspaper service.

We stock all major UK newspapers and prices start at just £9.99 for a full, genuine paper from any date of your choice. We classify a “back issue” as a newspaper up to 9 months old. For any newspapers over 9 months, please search our old newspapers using our main newspaper search tool.

Below is a list of all the backdated newspaper titles we stock:

The Times (English and Scottish editions)
The Financial Times
The Sun (English and Scottish editions)
The Guardian (English and Scottish editions)
The Daily Telegraph (English and Scottish editions)
The Daily Mirror (English, Scottish, Ulster and Irish editions)
The Daily Express (English and Scottish editions)
The Daily Star
The Daily Mail
The Evening Standard
The Daily Record
The Scotsman
Glasgow Herald

We also stock the Sunday papers associated with the newspaper titles listed above.

With over 3 million back issues held in the archive original newspaper, we stock a wealth of titles for most dates from 1900 to yesterday.

These are genuine editions that have been stored under optimum conditions since they were printed. As an optional extra you can receive a certificate of authenticity, certifying the back issue received as a genuine original, as well as an impressive gift box. As owners of the world’s largest collection if you contact any national title for back issue newspapers they will refer you to us.

Back Issue Newspaper Pricing

The prices of our past newspapers depend on their age. We classify backdated newspapers as being those papers up to 9 months old.

Should you have any special requirements or specific research requests for newspaper back issues then please do contact us. We have been carefully preserving and storing the 3+ million back issue newspapers in the archive for over 30 years and are always pleased to help in any way that we can. A quick read of all our positive customer reviews is testament to this.

Lead Times and Delivery Information

We receive a delivery of back issue newspapers every Wednesday, therefore most paper dates ordered for the previous week will be sent out the following Thursday.

If you’re ordering a Times, Daily Telegraph, Sun or Daily Mail on the day the newspaper is printed, they would be delivered to us the following Wednesday, not the same week they are ordered.

For other questions relating to our back issues, view our back issues FAQ page here.

Very pleased with this gift -the presentation box containing the newspaper and wine looked very good. Unfortunately the newspaper was torn on one side, it looked as though this might have happened as it was folded into the box.nArrived very swiftly, thank you.nShame a gift card can’t be included with this product.
