The earlier editions of the Grahamstown Journal (up to 1853) are held at the National Archives at Kew and can be viewed without appointment in the Map Room on the second floor (you will need a reader's ticket) The more recent transcriptions I have been doing are from original copies held at the British Library. The newspapers are stored in Boston Spa in Yorkshire, but if you are registered with the British Library you can order them, on 48 hours' notice, to be viewed in the Newsroom at the British Library in St.Pancras, London (opposite St.Pancras station). They keep them for a couple of days before sending them back to Yorkshire. I was there on Friday and Saturday and photographed 1864-1867 inclusive, but didn't manage to get up to 1870, although I had ordered those. This was because there are more editions to go through (several a week) and after taking over 1300 photos I ran out of time and battery, even with a back-up battery, so left early on Saturday - just as well as it turned out, as there was rugby on in Cardiff and pandemonium at the station, so God knows when I would have got home had I left it any later. I have just updated the file for the first quarter of 1864, which previously only had January and a few issues in February http://www.eggsa.org/newspapers/index.php/grahamstown-journal/1173-grahamstown-journal-1864-1-january-to-march Sue Date: Fri, 24 Apr 2015 07:19:43 +0100 Subject: Re: [SOUTH-AFRICA] Settler Update From: bazder@ntlworld.com To: rhoosesue@outlook.com; south-africa@rootsweb.com Hi SueWonderful work you do.Where in London do you go to view these archives?Thank youRegardsCate On 23 April 2015 at 22:23, Sue Mackay via <south-africa@rootsweb.com> wrote: I am going to London tomorrow and will hopefully be able to photograph the Grahamstown Journal from 1864-1870 (there may be gaps). This is quite well timed, as I have just finished going through the 1820 settlers to see if there are any more files I can add to the Extra Info section, as more original registers become accessible.
