Thanks, it's nicely parametrised and easy to browse; shame they decided to require free registration in order to actually view anything though.

You only get to see three pages for free. The original submission title is really misleading:

  >Try the British Newspaper Archive for FREE

  >View 3 pages FREE when you register to help you get started

Presumably that copy refers to how the site used to work prior to today, when they announced the new million free pages: https://blog.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk/2021/08/09/introd...

That blog post has a screenshot of an interface where you can chose to search either in "Free To View" or "Subscriber Access" - so presumably you now also get 3 free "subscriber access" pages.

Confirmed: I created an account and I'm able to view unlimited pages with the "Free To View" filter.
