Waterloo directory of English newspapers and periodicals, 1800-1900
Here is a directory to the largest single body of historical documents arising out of nineteenth century England at the height of the British Empire. This empire was by some measures the most powerful and influential in the history of civilization: she held sway over the largest land mass and the greatest proportion of the world’s people. Having become in the 19^th century one of the most literate of all societies, England established the Victorian periodical and newspaper press as a primary vehicle of participatory democracy. The /Directory /provides a more comprehensive, detailed and useful bibliographical record (including Locations and facsimile Title Pages) than we yet have for printed books, government publications or manuscripts of the century. It is subject-comprehensive, intending to include every periodical and newspaper published on a regular basis, from daily to annually, in every language, within England: a goldmine for cultural historians, genealogists and all subject specialists. Newspapers and periodicals were more than one-hundred-fold the volume and readership of printed books.

New Content in World Development Indicators
One of the major changes is that WDI Online now has 854 indicators available for 209 economies and 18 groups from 1960 to 2007, where data are available. This is an increase of over 100 indicators from 2007!
The other major change in the data is that we are no longer showing a combined entry for Serbia and Montenegro, these are now shown separately. Please note however, for Serbia, some indicators, such as those series for which data appear only for Serbia and not Montenegro--e.g. aid, environment, external debt, balance of payments, various social indicators excluding population--continue to include data for Montenegro through 2005.
