Thank you, Keith, and all the other posters, for information on British newspaper archives. It gives me a better sense of what is--or isn't--available to me. Appreciated...Ros -----Original Message----- From: Keith Drage [mailto:drageke@ntlworld.com] Sent: Tuesday, September 20, 2011 7:01 PM To: norfolk@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [NFK] Newspaper Archives.. Just to note further - most public libraries do list on their web pages what is available via either the computer terminals in the library itself or for users to access remotely. You'll normally find library web pages under the local council in the UK. Obviously all library web pages differ, but start looking for things like "24 hour library" or "eReference" on the web pages of any library for which you are entitled to be a member. For the 19th century newspapers you are looking for names like "Infotrac" or "CenGage". Also do remember that, at least in the UK, you are not limited to the library wnere you live. If you work or study in a different location, you can join the library there as well. regards Keith Swindon UK > -----Original Message----- > From: norfolk-bounces@rootsweb.com > [mailto:norfolk-bounces@rootsweb.com]On Behalf Of Keith Drage > Sent: 20 September 2011 02:16 > To: norfolk@rootsweb.com > Subject: Re: [NFK] Newspaper Archives.. > > > It is a subscription service from a joint project with the > British Library, > which a number of UK libraries certainly subscribe to (and therefore their > members access for free). > > But limited to UK residents, don't think so: > > http://newspapers.bl.uk/blcs/ > > And to quote from the site > > "The digitised nineteenth century British Library newspapers are freely > available for people in UK higher and further education, in some UK public > libraries, and in some institutions in other countries.
