Jo If in Australia you can get a Library card from the National Library, which allows you access the Gale and other services at home. See [1]http://www.nla.gov.au/getalibrarycard/ Other major libraries may have the same facility Jay On 13-Jan-12 11:10 PM, Josephine Perkins wrote: I wondered if anyone had been able to access the Gale newspaper archive via the Lancashire library website recently from abroad. Information on this site indicates that it can be done by people outside the UK ( not me I'm asking for a relation) but the website for Lancashire library says you can only join if you are a UK resident with a UK address. Is there any other way of delving into the newspaper archive?

Thanks Jay, but Canada's the country in question. Apparently the Gale archive used to be available through the public library but was a victim of cutbacks.
