Hi listers Forgive cross-posting but just noticed this at: http://www2.sl.nsw.gov.au/databases/athome.cfm <quote> Sydney Morning Herald Archives The SMH archives contain 820,000 pages in almost 13,000 issues from January 1st, 1955 to December 31st, 1990. The contents of all issues of the Sydney Morning Herald and Sun Herald are fully text searchable including advertisements, captions and birth, death and marriage notices. Full-text results are returned in an exact digital reproduction of the printed pages as they were originally published. <unquote> "To participate you must be a New South Wales resident and must also be registered as a State Library client. If you are not a registered client of the Library, you can apply online. http://www.sl.nsw.gov.au/using/membership/ You will need to allow up to 10 days to receive your Library card before you can use these databases from home." Your taxes at work! Happy searching Ian J
