News Archives

Transcripts of historical BBC radio news bulletins that provide an overview of unfolding domestic and global news events. These news stories, from six daily broadcasts, show revisions and annotations throughout the day to reflect breaking news developments and changes in reporting tone and emphasis. The transcripts offer researchers valuable context for understanding 20th-century history, culture, and society; they cover major national and global events in politics, international relations, culture, technology, sports, health, and more.
