The Gazette Celebrates 350 Years As the Official Public Record Submitted By: the Stationery Office Wednesday, 4 November 2015 The Gazette celebrates 350 years as the official public record Submitted by: The Stationery Office Wednesday, 4 November 2015 On the 7 November 2015 The London Gazette celebrates its 350 year anniversary (https://www.thegazette.co.uk/history/350-years) as the oldest surviving English newspaper, and the oldest continuously published newspaper in the UK. The Gazette’s (https://www.thegazette.co.uk/) archives are free and easily accessible online, broken down by sector to help users quickly find what they are looking for. The content of The Gazette attracts a variety of different audiences, one of which is the genealogist and historian market. The Gazette is frequently used by those researching their family history, through military records and despatches from the front, as well as insolvency or deceased estates notices. A resource created for The Gazette’s anniversary is a timeline (https://www.thegazette.co.uk/history/timeline) detailing just a fraction of the type of events documented in its 350 year history. These memorable events in British history range from The Great Fire of London (https://www.thegazette.co.uk/London/issue/85/page/1) and the Bank of England (https://www.thegazette.co.uk/London/issue/2982/page/1) being founded, to more recent events, such as the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II (https://www.thegazette.co.uk/London/issue/40020/supplement/6223) and the birth of Princess Charlotte (https://www.thegazette.co.uk/London/issue/61216/supplement/1). Following the outbreak of the plague in England in 1665, Charles II was forced to move his court out of London to Oxford. To allow the court to report the facts of the day, The Oxford Gazette (https://www.thegazette.co.uk/London/issue/1/page/1) was born, and when the court moved back to London, it became The London Gazette (https://www.thegazette.co.uk/London/issue/24/page/1), and more recently The Gazette, incorporating both the Belfast and Edinburgh Gazette. As the first official journal of record and the newspaper to the Crown, The London Gazette became the authoritative source of news. The Edinburgh Gazette was first produced in 1699 and was printed continuously after 1793. The Belfast Gazette has been in production since 1920 (its forerunner was The Dublin Gazette, which was in print from 1706). The Gazette is also the official home of The Queen’s Birthday and New Year honours (https://www.thegazette.co.uk/honours-lists), as well as the weekly Ministry of Defence notifications, Company Law notices, statutory notices and legislation. Specific content is created for each sector and is available for all users to access. Specialists in their fields are also commissioned to write content, which is then accessible online and via social media. Janine Eves, Business and Operations Director for The Gazette said: ‘There’s a vast range of history in The Gazette’s archive just waiting to be discovered. Since completing the digital transformation last year, finding information about individuals or historical events is easier than ever – and it’s free to access. I encourage you to take a look for yourself and see what you can discover.’ As the official public record, The Gazette (https://www.thegazette.co.uk/) will continue to record history, publishing online and for all to freely search and read.

  • Irish Law Journals and the Emergence of the Irish State, 1916–22 Thomas Mohr
    Irish Law Journals and the Emergence of the Irish State, 1916–22 Thomas Mohr Journal of European Periodical Studies, 3.1 (Summer 2018) ISSN 2506-6587 Content is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 Licence The Journal of European Periodical Studies is hosted by Ghent University Website: ojs.ugent.be/jeps To cite this article: ‘Irish Law Journals and the Emergence of the Irish State, 1916–22’, Journal of European Periodical Studies, 3.1 (Summer 2018), 29–48 Irish Law Journals and the Emergence of the Irish State, 1916–22 Thomas Mohr University College Dublin [email protected] ABSTRACT This article assesses the value of Irish law journals as historical sources for the transition between 1916 and 1922 that saw most of the island of Ireland leave the United Kingdom. It presents these law journals as sources that have not always received the attention that they deserve from historians and political scientists. The article also uses these sources to examine the response of the Irish legal professions to the six years of revolution and upheaval. This response is interesting because the legal professions and their journals spanned the traditional nationalist/unionist divide in Irish politics. The most important source is a journal called the Irish Law Times and Solicitors’ Journal (now known as simply the Irish Law Times) although other journals of lesser significance are also considered. KEYWORDS Law journal; Irish Law Times; legal professions; 1916 rising; civil war; 1921 Treaty; partition; Irish Free State; Northern Ireland 29 Irish Law Journals and the Emergence of the Irish State, 1916–22 Introduction The purpose of this article is to assess the value of law journals as sources for a critical period of transition in modern Irish history.
