Historical value

In 1915, R P Farley said "the files of the Times must be constantly studied" as an authority for the political and social history of the English people during the period from the Reform Bill 1832 to the Education Act 1870 (1832 to 1870). From 1971 to 1973, John Joseph Bagley said The Times is "valuable" as a source of nineteenth-century English history and that the annual index to The Times is useful for the twentieth century. In 2003, Richard Krzys said The Times is very reliable as a source of history. In 2016, Denise Bates said The Times is "indispensable" as a source for historical events of national importance.
