EMPOWER™ RESEARCH

Sold in over 160 countries and read worldwide, the International Herald Tribune is one of the most innovative and original newspapers, famous for its objective and clear coverage. Bringing an international perspective, it provides a valuable counterpoint to the Anglo-American press, adding a new dimension to research.

INTERNATIONAL HERALD TRIBUNE HISTORICAL ARCHIVE 1887–2013

THE INTERNATIONAL HERALD TRIBUNE: A BRIEF HISTORYThe paper began as the European Edition of The New York Herald in October 1887. In 1935, following the merger of The New York Herald and the New York Tribune in 1924 and the acquisition of the Paris edition of The Chicago Tribune in 1934, the paper became the European Edition of the New York Herald Tribune.

Following the demise of the New York Herald Tribune in 1966, the European Edition survived thanks to The Washington Post and The New York Times becoming part-owners in 1967, and the paper was renamed the International Herald Tribune. By 2003, the paper was owned solely by The New York Times and was rebranded as the International New York Times in 2013, the point at which this archive ends.

Despite the multiple changes of ownership, the International Herald Tribune retained editorial independence, and continued to publish its own unique content throughout. Although some content was shared after 2002, the majority of content differs substantially from that in The New York Times.

WHY IS THIS ARCHIVE IMPORTANT?

The diversity of both contributors and viewpoints that came from its approach created some of the most unique and insightful coverage available to the public.

This archive allows:

• Exploration of a greater diversity of voices than many other newspapers, with contributors from varied countries and cultures, offering an alternative to the Anglo-American press

• Access to content that will not be available in any The New York Times archive, as the International Herald Tribune was editorially independent, with only a small amount of overlap from 2002 onwards

• Analysis of developments that have shaped the modern, international world, offering different voices and perspectives on key historical milestones

• Discovery on a single platform, that can be accessed anywhere, anytime, fitting easily into workflows and schedules

• Cross-searching with other Gale Primary Sources, opening up new avenues for digital humanities scholarship through the new availability of large-scale delivery of data and metadata

This archive presents online access to one of the most highly regarded resources for the study of 19th-, 20th-, and 21st-century history, and includes every page as published for more than 220 years. As the world’s newspaper of record, The Times covers all major international historical events from the French Revolution to the war in Iraq, forming a complete chronicle of history for the period. This archive is an essential resource for the study of history, literature, culture, business, and much more.

The Independent, a major British daily national newspaper, launched in 1986 as an antidote to its often overtly politicized rivals, known for its unabashed editorial stance on such issues as the legalization of drugs, the war on terrorism, and environmental concerns. Despite its left-centrist social and political positioning, the paper has featured a number of conservative columnists and is broadly pro-market on economic issues.

In 2016, The Independent ceased to publish in print, and the archive has been updated to provide a complete record of the print edition of this iconic newspaper.
