British Library Newspapers Part II

[keldon]

For those of you who have access to the British Library Newspapers and have not visited it lately, I would suggest a return visit. I've just done some searches and I've noticed several more publications appearing in the results. I think these are recent additions. They appear in the results with the words "British Library Newspapers Part II" next to them. Among them I'm seeing, The Standard (London), The Yorkshire Herald, and The York Herald, Leicester Chronicle and the Leicestershire Mercury and The Essex County Standard West Suffolk Gazette, and Eastern Counties Advertiser. There may be more.

Thanks Cloggie. I just did not have time to do that last night. Looks a useful list.

Do you just click on 19th century periodicals or is there some new way to access them?

I'm not sure my library has them as yet.

[Kit]

Ignore me. My library does have them, although I can't seem to search a new paper as yet.

My local library has Infotrac does that mean I can access the collection?

Possibly! Check your local library website - you should see the information on there.

Thanks Elaine,looks like I might be out of luck then it only mentions the Times,Guardian etc and international papers.

[Elaine ..Spain]

You could try Lancashire Library.
