The Picture Post Historical Archive offers the complete digitised, full-colour archive of the Picture Post from its first issue in 1938 to its last in 1957.

More than 38,000 pages and 95,000 articles are available to search and browse, all covering a crucial period of twentieth century history: from the years leading up to World War II to the first decade of the Cold War.

Westlaw – temporary access arrangements (22-28 August)
At short notice, Westlaw is carrying out ‘essential maintenance’ on its Shibboleth service: which means it will not be possible to sign-in to Westlaw using a university username and password between 22-28 August.
Temporary access arrangements have been agreed with Westlaw, and links in Library OneSearch have been updated accordingly.
Between 22-28 August, on-campus access to Westlaw will be direct (using IP authentication). Off-campus access will not be available. On-campus access will only be possible using the links in the Find Databases service of Library OneSearch.
A further update will follow once Westlaw’s normal sign-in services have been restored.
