I don't think this has been mentioned before as it started on 13th May.
A new digital database with six free searchable digital editions of a selection of Victorian periodicals is now made available by British Library, Birkbeck College, King's College London and Olive Software.
The titles are:
Tomahawk (1867-1870) – a satirical illustrated contemporary of Punch, with full-page cartoons.
English Woman's Journal (1858-1864) – an early women's magazine published and set by women.
Northern Star (1837-1852) – a social reformist newspaper, which gave away portraits of notable Chartists and at its height had nine editions in a single day.
Publishers' Circular (1880-1890) – a trade magazine from the publishing industry with lavish illustrations.
Leader (1850-1859) – a mid-century political weekly, which began by printing Town and Country editions.
Monthly Repository (1806-1837) – a long-lived theological and philosophical monthly.

A quick search shows that it may be a useful source for family history research.
