Hello Julie, > You can get free access to the Times Archive if you have a Library > card. Just go to your local Library on-line look for the virtual > reference Library and sign in with your Library card number. Yes this is true. However I understand this new temporarily free trial is a quite a different animal to the one which was widely available before and available at home. It has helpful tools and it is fully searchable. http://archive.timesonline.co.uk Still, it may be that libraries are logged in to that one right now and when the free trial finishes they might revert to its poorer cousin. One hopes not of course. I am going to my library this morning - I will ask and then let you know. Meanwhile, here is a link which describes it in detail. http://irishfamilyhistory.ie/blog/?p=153 Sally in Yorkshire
