Because The British Newspaper Archive scanning team is based within the British Library's newspaper storage facilities, they have extensive access to the collection. One benefit of being able to access the original bound volumes of newspapers and periodicals is that, unlike many other newspaper digitisation projects, they have been able to scan some of the rarest and most fragile newspapers in the collection. They have even scanned single pages more than two feet wide. As well as scanning from the original paper volumes, they also make use of the library's extensive microfilm collection to bring you more pages as quickly as they can.
