Is it possible to view an archive copy of the Christmas 1898 edition of the Methodist Recorder anywhere? I have just found a letter from the 1960s which indicate the my Great Grandfather Thomas Thompson is mentioned in it on his retirement from the ministry.

Upvoting this. For me personally it would be incredibly useful if the 1930s issues were available somewhere. I think in the 30s the Recorder absorbed the Methodist Times and United Methodist as well.

Not currently available online as far as I am aware and would be a great help to historians of a number of areas including; Local, Family, Social as well as Nonconformity
