If you’ve missed a recent article you wanted to read or require more copies of a certain feature, Historic Newspapers provide the UK’s most comprehensive back issue newspaper service.
We stock all major UK newspapers and prices start at just £19.99 for a full, genuine paper from any date of your choice. We classify a “back issue” as a newspaper up to 3 months old. For any newspapers over 3 months, please search our old newspapers using our main newspaper search tool.
With over 3 million back issues held in the archive original newspaper, we stock a wealth of titles for most dates from 1900 to yesterday.
These are genuine editions that have been stored under optimum conditions since they were printed. As an optional extra you can receive a certificate of authenticity, certifying the back issue received as a genuine original, as well as an impressive gift box. As owners of the world’s largest collection if you contact any national title for back issue newspapers they will refer you to us.
Below is a list of all the backdated newspaper titles we stock:
- The Times
- The Financial Times
- The Sun
- The Guardian
- The Daily Telegraph
- The Daily Mirror
- The Daily Express
- The Daily Star
- The Daily Mail
- The Evening Standard
- The Daily Record
- The Scotsman
- Glasgow Herald
We receive a delivery of back issue newspapers every Wednesday, therefore most paper dates ordered for the previous week will be sent out the following Thursday.
If you’re ordering a Times, Daily Telegraph, Sun or Daily Mail on the day the newspaper is printed, they would be delivered to us the following Wednesday, not the same week they are ordered.
Are Sunday papers more expensive?
We don’t charge more for Sunday editions. However, please note that magazines and supplements may not be included with your newspaper.
Can I buy yesterday’s newspaper?
You’ll always be able to order yesterday’s newspapers with us. Just bear in mind: We receive a delivery of back issue newspapers every Wednesday, therefore most paper dates ordered for the previous week will be sent out the following Thursday.
What is the quality of the newspapers you sell?
You can be sure that you’ll buy unsold newspapers from us. Our back issues are handled carefully and as such are in perfect condition.

Purchased as a gift for our friends Ruby Wedding Anniversary (ordered date they got married). As I also ordered the box, which was red on colour, so suited the occasion also. They were delighted with this gift.
Excellent customer service nExcellent giftnGreat to see some history
Excellent item condition
I bought this newspaper for my wife's 50th birthday. She grew up in the UK so getting an original newspaper from the day she was born was very special for her. Being in Australia, the delivery was a bit expensive but it was worth it. The newspaper arrived quickly and was in great condition for its age.
It was the perfect gift, meaningful and authentic. The recepient lived it and we spent ages reading the articles and laughing at the ads.
Very happy with this newspaper which we bought for a friend's 90th birthday. Very prompt delivery.
