DC Thompson Family History, the company that also provides Findmypast, has launched a mobile app called Here & Then that can provide you with articles from the British Newspapers Archive.

On your iPhone, you can view "On this day" articles, humorous stories, and historic topical stories that mirror today's news - free!

If you don't have an iPhone, you can view online. But maybe eventually it will also be available on Android one day?

 Good reading!
