Channel: British Library
Date: 2014-04-29

The Newsroom is the British Library's new Reading Room for newspapers, broadcast and digital news. It was officially opened on 28 April 2014 by Sajid Javid MP, Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport. The Newsroom offers access for researchers to the national news collection, including 750 million pages of newspapers and periodicals, 4.8 million archived websites and thousands of hours of broadcast news.
The opening of the Newsroom marks the culmination of a £33 million programme that has also involved moving the Library's vast collection of print newspapers to a purpose-built, robotic storage facility in Yorkshire.
