Rare Newspapers found on the National Geographic Channel…
April 16, 2011 by GuyHeilenman · Leave a Comment
Early this month National Geographic Channel surfers had the opportunity to add an authentic 19th century London Times with a report regarding Jack the Ripper to their personal collection, for no cost. Three issues from the Timothy Hughes Rare & Early Newspapers Archives had been donated for use as prizes in the latest Mission Expedition featured on the National Geographic Channel’s website. Although the “expedition” is over, the website shows great behind the scenes footage of how the project was created. These interactive walks into the past also provide wonderful opportunities to engage young budding historians. To view the footage, go to: National Geographic Channel: Mission Expedition. the next expedition will be in October of 2011.
