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, Jo Perkins

I know of someone who enquired about joining the library and they let her do so by e-mail - they gave her an access number right away with the official members card to follow. Again she was in Australia. If I remember correctly there are other things you can look at besides the Gale papers, maybe not to do with family research but still interesting! This was about 6 or 7 months ago so they may have changed their membership policy. regards Sandra -----Original Message----- From: Josephine Perkins <scunnybunny1@btinternet.com> To: eng-lincsgen@rootsweb.com Sent: Fri, 13 Jan 2012 12:10 Subject: [LIN] Newspaper archive access online from outside UK I wondered if anyone had been able to access the Gale newspaper rchive via the Lancashire library website recently from abroad. nformation on this site indicates that it can be done by people utside the UK ( not me I'm asking for a relation) but the website or Lancashire library says you can only join if you are a UK esident with a UK address.
