'''On This Day''' is the name of the [[BBC]]'s news archive website. 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 updates daily with past events from that date. |
|||
The phrase "On this day", or "On this date", is used on many websites, including Wikipedia's [[Main page|front page]]. This is part of the [[Wikipedia:Selected anniversaries|Selected anniversaries]] section which is the tip of the iceberg of a large number of pages that commemorate dates on Wikipedia: |
|||
* A page for each day of recent years (see box on right). |
|||
* A fuller page for [[List of historical anniversaries|each day of the year]], including [[{{MONTHNAME|{{CURRENTMONTH}}}} {{CURRENTDAY}}#Events|events]], [[{{MONTHNAME|{{CURRENTMONTH}}}} {{CURRENTDAY}}#Births|births]], [[{{MONTHNAME|{{CURRENTMONTH}}}} {{CURRENTDAY}}#Deaths|deaths]] and [[{{MONTHNAME|{{CURRENTMONTH}}}} {{CURRENTDAY}}#Holidays and observances|holidays and observances]]. |
|||
* The highlights of each [[List of years|year]] by month of the current era and many BC. e.g. [[{{Random number|{{CURRENTYEAR}}}}]], [[{{Random number|200}} BC]]. |
|||
* The highlights of each [[List of decades|decade]]. e.g. 1960s, 270s BC. |
|||
* The highlights of each [[List of centuries|century]]. e.g. 17th century, 8th century BC. |
