In the business world, it’s important to stay on top of the latest trends and financial forecasts. But what about the business world of the past? The UTC Library provides access to the historical archive of the Financial Times, one of the world’s premier newspapers for the global business community. Stretching all the way back to 1888, the archive serves as a valuable primary source for those conducting business or history research.
The interface allows users to search by keyword, article title, and author. Other searching parameters include the ability to search for issues before or after a certain date as well as topical searches, only including information on business, politics, science, arts and leisure, and obituaries.
The “Browse Edition” option also allows users to view specific issues of the newspaper as they appeared in print!
