The library is working with the technical team at Gale Cengage to reinstate off-campus access to the databases on the Gale Cengage platform.

A further update will follow once on-campus access has been restored. Affected databases include:

  • Picture Post Historical Archive
  • British Library Newspapers
  • 19th Century UK Periodicals
  • 17th and 18th Century Burney Collection
