Thanks to Heritage Lottery Funding, Oxford users now have online access to the archive of an important regional English newspaper, The South Eastern Gazette 1852-1912 (UKPress Online). It is listed in OxLIP+ and will soon appear in SOLO.

Formerly The Maidstone Gazette, the South Eastern Gazette was a major regional title for the south-east of England.

Circulating in Kent, Surrey and Sussex, it published reports of local occurrences, the state of all the hop districts, and the London and country markets and promoted educational advancement. It also featured some reports from abroad.
