The following data has been extracted from the website of the London Gazette. The London, Edinburgh, and Belfast Gazettes are the official newspapers of record in the United Kingdom. Several legal notices, including insolvency notices, are required by law to be published in the London, Belfast or Edinburgh Gazette.
It is possible to search the London Gazette Archive by clicking on the "Archive" bar at the top of the screen. Searches can be made by multiple criteria to find exactly what you are looking for. This archive contains all London Gazette editions from the war years (1914-1920, 1939-1948), and all London Gazette Honours and Awards in the 20th Century.
During the 17th Century, it was believed that national
efficiency depended on the intelligence received by the Crown and that the
reckless publishing of news might endanger it. An embargo on the printing of
news other than reports of events abroad, natural disasters, royal declarations
and sensational crime continued until 1640. This had the effect of delaying the
development of the press in the UK. Censorship was introduced in 1643, followed
by licensing of news publications.
The Gazette came about because of two momentous events: the Great Plague and the
decision of King Charles II to remove his court - effectively the government of
the time - to Oxford. The London Gazette started life as the Oxford Gazette and
after a few months changed to its current title. At the outset, it met the need
for authoritative news and in this served both the Crown and the Executive. It
had incomparable sources of information from overseas; in peace time, its
“foreign correspondents” were the British embassies abroad; in time of war
the British generals themselves. The first news of Wellington’s victory at
Waterloo was carried in the Gazette, and when the newly founded Times stopped
its presses to carry the news of this famous battle, it was the despatch which
had been published as a Gazette Extraordinary which was reprinted in full.
In recent times The London Gazette has evolved to reflect the trends and needs
of the legal process and the readership. Today it is a newspaper only in a very
specialized sense, but its role in publishing official information is still a
significant one. Though the imposing legend “Published by Authority” which
it has always borne may be no more than a relic of the ancient Licensing Acts,
those words have come through the processes of time to acquire a greater
significance as a uniquely authoritative place of record, in print and now
online.
