The use of electronic resources for developing research processes involving the collection of data from historical newspapers has been increasingly developed. In this context, the digitisation of newspapers is of particular relevance. Knowledge of researchers’ information needs and the use of a comprehensive set of technical features contribute to improving the design of digitised newspaper databases and their search options. This paper aims to explore some key issues in the development and use of digitised collections of historical newspapers, in other words, it addresses fundamental aspects such as those related to the search practices and use of the collections, technical limitations arising from digitisation, functionalities of user interfaces, and also search modalities that databases can exhibit.
