Local Recall is a website which offers subscription-based access to the newspaper published in my local region: the Eastern Daily Press, published by Archant. A monthly subscription costs £5.99 and there is an annual option as well.
For those exploring big local stories this would make a useful place to visit.
With help from Google, Archant has transformed 150 years of history embedded in pages of the Eastern Daily Press into a ground-breaking online resource.Using the latest voice search and Research Bot technologies, Local Recall lets you start a conversation with the past from the comfort of your home. Ask questions about days gone by based on your interests or curiosity and hear responses read aloud by voice-activated devices.
Dive deeper into the archives with more detailed inquiries using our lightning-fast search tool that puts more than 750,000 pages of content right at your fingertips. Enter up to ten search terms including date ranges, headlines or keywords and prepare to go down the rabbit hole with your research.
With Local Recall, we are making our history, your history, available for one and all.
I am going to be putting together some resources around the 70th Anniversary of the 1953 East Coast Floods and this will be one of the key sources for me, as the event received major coverage in the EDP as it worked round the Norfolk coastline in particular.
Memories of the floods and links to any resources would be gratefully received.
More to come on this in early 2023.
