Guardian Weekly turns 90; launches online archive of republished stories

guardian In tribute to its 90th birthday, the Guardian's international newspaper, Guardian Weekly, has published an eight-page supplement and launched an online archive of republished stories.

The Weekly will be republishing historical articles for nine consecutive days - its first is an account from a British soldier working with Chinese labourers in Flanders in 1919.

The Manchester Guardian Weekly first launched on the 4 July 1919, marking the signing of the Treaty of Versailles; it was seen as a way of building friendship links with Germany. "At such a turbulent time in European history the weekly’s intention was to create greater international understanding - an aim it continues to this day," a release said.

"For 90 years Guardian Weekly has been providing readers from around the globe with the cream of Guardian coverage focusing on politics, news and culture. Our supplement presents a wonderful retrospective from across the weekly’s history including news stories on the end of the war, the Middle East, the American elections and a selection of reader's letters," said Natalie Bennett, editor of Guardian Weekly.

Bennett takes a look at the history of the publication in an article at this link.
