Restoring British Library’s services – 10 October 2024 update

On 10 October 2024, the British Library announced the complete restoration of its services, one year after a cyber attack disrupted its operations. The reopening of the National Newspaper Building in Boston Spa now provides access to the entire print collections. Services such as remote ordering and access to digital resources have been reintroduced. Users can now order items online, and access to over 1,000 digitised manuscripts. The library is also working on new systems to improve services in the future.
