      ab: The authors explore the impact of digitization on historical newspaper studies, focusing on the British Library's efforts since 2004. They highlight the challenges posed by the colonial provenance of these sources, especially in the context of expanding digital collections. While digitization offers exciting opportunities for global historical research, it also raises concerns about reproducing colonial asymmetries and the exploitation of labor. The discussion underscores the need for ethical engagement and collaboration in digitization initiatives, particularly concerning colonial legacies and multilingual sources like early Indian newspapers.
