About the Collection
Published since 1925, Daily Times is regarded as one of the most influential newspapers in post-independence Nigeria. Daily Times has consistently covered important events in Nigerian history, including the discovery of oil in Nigeria (1956), Nigerian Independence (1960), the Nigerian Civil War (1967-1970), the Second Republic (1979-1983), the transition to democracy (1999), and ongoing religious violence (2000 - ). The Daily Times Digital Archive is a static archive covering the years in which Daily Times was published in print; the paper has since transitioned to a free to access, online-only format. The Daily Times Digital Archive is a valuable resource for scholars of African studies, gender studies, history, and politics.
