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 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 front page. This is part of the 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 each day of the year, including events, births, deaths and holidays and observances.
- The highlights of each year by month of the current era and many BC. e.g. 677, 197 BC.
- The highlights of each decade. e.g. 1960s, 270s BC.
- The highlights of each century. e.g. 17th century, 8th century BC.
- The highlights of each millennium. e.g. 1st millennium, 5th millennium BC.
