Gale NewsVault Offers Access to 400 Years
of Newspapers and Periodicals
Platform Enables Full-Text Cross-Searching of all
Gale Historical Newspaper and Periodical Collections
Andover, Hampshire, Dec. 3, 2010 — Gale, part of Cengage Learning, today announced the release of
Gale NewsVault, a specially designed online platform that enables cross-searching of Gale’s enormous
range of historical newspaper and periodical collections from a single interface. Providing access to more
than 2,000 titles and 10 million digitized pages, Gale NewsVault provides an unparalleled window to the past
for researchers and students.
Libraries that have purchased any Gale historical newspaper or periodical collection will have immediate
access to Gale NewsVault. Users are able to simultaneously search or browse across multiple products
offered by their institution. Users will also see an “Additional Resources” button on their results page, which
will enable them to view bibliographic information for documents in all Gale newspaper and periodical
collections returned as a result of their query, even if their library has not purchased access to that particular
collection.
“With Gale NewsVault, researchers can discover multiple resources on their topic, even collections that they
wouldn’t expect to correlate with their search,” said Jim Draper, vice president and publisher, Gale. “For
example, the Financial Times has far more arts content than most would expect, while the Times Digital
Archive is a rich source of financial news across two centuries. With Gale NewsVault, users will discover
patterns and points-of-view previously impossible to correlate and compare.”
With Gale NewsVault users can browse by title and by place of publication, as well as cross-browse all
content published on the same date. Users can read newspapers cover-to-cover in full screen or – using an
advanced image viewer – save, print, highlight, bookmark, grab, pan, zoom and crop content and images.
Today, Gale NewsVault provides a single point of access to 10 Gale collections:
 17th and 18th Century Burney Collection
 19th Century British Library Newspapers Part I
 19th Century British Library Newspapers Part II
 19th Century UK Periodicals: New Readerships
