The Universe, also known as The Catholic Universe, was one of three major Catholic newspapers alongside The Tablet and The Catholic Herald. The archives of the other two publications already exist online in a searchable format, but The Universe only exists in the BL Archives now, and the original publication has since gone out of business so finding archive material from them is now impossible. This would be increasingly useful and important as we approach the anniversary of Catholic Emancipation in 2029, and a possible Papal Visit coinciding with this anniversary.

NB - not to be confused with a similarly-named publication, which has already been digitised and is on this website. The Universe in question only began in 1860, and the publication on here pre-dates that.
