Hi All, We have access to the Gale Database of old newspapers, etc, through our library, via our computers at home. If you are in the UK you could find out if your local library subscribes to the sites. ( different libraries subscribe to varying parts of the database. ) Your library card number will be how you sign in. It is free to the library card holder, the libraries pay the subscription.

I have really enjoyed reading all the varied newspaper clippings, thank you for your hard work. In case I missed the information, are there online searchable sources for these varied papers?
