I am needing a little guidance into how i go about looking for an article in the news of the world paper in the year 1940, i am not sure when it was in, but know it was that year. Can anyone give me some direction of what i need to do?

Many Thanks

Laura, the only thing I can suggest is you e-mail the News of the World and ask if it is possible to search their archives. Google for their web site

Researching:

Colindale Newspaper Library does hold everything, but it's best if you can go search in person, as I was just looking at their services and they charge £50 !!

You could also try your local library.
