Anyone know any news archive websites? Happiness and harmony in depending on it!

[Orlando]

DD has got to find the top news stories for the year she was born (1995)as her English homework. She's spent most of the weekend trawling through millions of websites and is getting a bit dis-spirited! Can anyone suggest a good news archive site that will list the headlines for a given year? She's getting bogged down in listing loads of very trivial news stories from local papers in America mostly (and I'm not sure that the under 17's football scores for a mid-west high school really shaped the world that much...)

Relying on the power of mumsnet to pull the weekend back from the brink!

the bbc news archive is quite good

I've linked to the page where you can search by year

here

No, but I have a book that goes through year by year and I will dig it out if theres no websites available

Thanks you're amazing, i never thought this would work! I reckoned mum was mad using this site but it worked and i am saved. Thank-you mumsnet!

Thank you so much ladies!

The BBC archive is exactly what we're looking for (am kicking myself that I couldn't find it) so that should solve the problem. Thank you for the offer of the book charliecat, but luckily we're sorted!

Yay mumsnet!!

pleasure! hope her homework goes smoothly now!
