Bath Chronicle Georgian Newspaper Project
Find out about life in Georgian Bath
You can search the Georgian Newspaper Project database on many
subjects, including art, fashion, crime, punishment, pets and
politics, to find out about life in Georgian
Bath.
The database contains information from the Bath Chronicle for
the years 1770-1800: work on the database is still in
progress.
Background
The project is intended to help those with a general or a
specialist interest in the people, places, services & local
events of Bath (& the surrounding areas) in the Georgian
period.
The project is run entirely by volunteers under the leadership
of the editor, Dr Donald Straughan, also a volunteer.
Dr Straughan writes:
For the many people searching historic Bath newspapers, it
seemed useful to provide a database with abstracts which were
referenced and indexed.
The volunteers were assembled and abstracting started in
December 2003.
