BBC Monitoring was founded in 1939 at the start of WWII. Its purpose was to listen to radio broadcasts and gather open-source intelligence to help Britain and its allies understand global dynamics and assess emerging global threats, and it has continued to do so. This new eResource is an online archive of the original daily reports, including commentary and evaluation by subject experts, as well as synopses and specialist briefings. Access this new online archive via SOLO.

This collection complements our existing subscription to BBC Monitoring which provides access to the broader BBC Monitoring service and current content.
