Paratext is proud to announce that we've added all pre-1961 British National Bibliography content to Eight Centuries.

Originally founded by the British Museum and currently supported by the British Library, the British National Bibliography has continuously compiled the publishing output of Great Britain since its creation in 1949.

Users can now search 158,000 records to magazines, books, and newspapers — some dating as far back as the 14^th century.

The BNB content embraces materials in many languages other than English, including Polish, Welsh, German, Arabic, Hebrew, French, Chinese, and more.
