BMJ Archive now live

The new BMJ online archive is now available, which means that a single search can find any article published in the BMJ since 1840. For an introduction to the archive, we commissioned a series of videos, featuring the former head of Britain's Medical Research Council, Colin Blakemore. The videos focus on some of the important subjects and people that have appeared in the journal's pages over the past 169 years, and the first one is now live at bmj.com/video
