The Official Index to The Times, Palmer's Index to the Times, and The Historical Index to The New York Times are starting points for students and scholars of all aspects of British life and world affairs in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. They are constantly used by researchers in the fields of history, politics, economics, business, the arts, and entertainment, even sport, as well as by journalists, biographers, politicians, and genealogists. Together they constitute an index, not just to the newspapers, but to the events of the last two hundred years.
