19th Century news going online
Via the BBC:
More than a million pages from 19th Century British newspapers are to be put online by the British Library.
The £2m project will cover 100 years of news and images from newspapers which are out of copyright.
I suspect this is going to be a rather good resource for producing handouts for games set in that era. OGL Steampunk should be out soon, but this project isn't going to be ready for a year and a half. I've got some ideas for a Steampunk campaign I want to run, perhaps I'll just hold off on it for a couple of years while I plan its background out in far too much detail. (More likely I'll live without the handouts).
