Member Since: June 2005 Posts: 13 Send Message	A few months ago, I managed with difficulty, to get onto :-" Historic Newspaper Collections from the British Library and Gale." Since buying a new computer I've been unable to access the site although I've not changed my BT broadband and I tried fire fox which I had to use last time. Where could I be going wrong?

	I used to acces these through Bedford Library, but my own local library now provides this free of charge. Worth checking your own. Jim
