'''On This Day''' is the name of a [[BBC]] news archive on the [[World Wide Web]]. It contains an online [[digital library]] of news stories reported by the BBC on [[World War II]] and world events from the [[1950s]] to [[2005]]. There are entries for every day of the year, many including [[video]] or [[Sound|audio]] reports which can be viewed online. The stories are arranged by years, by themes, by witness accounts and by the correspondents reporting the stories. There is also a front page which is updated each day.
