There is an archive of British newspapers available on the internet. I guess it's commercial, so I won't mention it's name, but it is produced in partnership with the British Library. I don't know if it's been discussed here. I've only just recently learned about it through my local Family History Centre. I ran a search for my Lazarus family of Plymouth and Exeter and turned up 47 pages of search results. Of course, some are irrelevant, but most are, and what a wealth of social history! I thought that after 15 years of researching I'd pretty much cleaned up anything there was to be found about the family's time in Devon - they'd mostly all moved away from there by the 1860's - but now I've got a considerable body of human stories to fill out their lives. Other sources of newspapers - free this time are the National Library of Singapore, newspapers.nl.sg for Singapore and Malaya, and Trove Digitised newspapers and more, trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper for Australian papers. How do the latter relate to British genealogy? In my case, because many of the family were opticians, traveling abroad to test people's people's eyes and sell them spectacles. They'd advertise their visits ahead of time, so I've been able to find out who was in the business when, and where they went. Also, several died during their travels, something I wouldn't necessarily have discovered otherwise. Eve Toronto
