FREE ACCESS TO OLD NEWSPAPERS

It is rare to get something worthwhile for nothing. Lancashire County Library and Information Service offers its members just that however and you do NOT have to live or work in Lancashire to benefit from their generosity. All that you need is a home computer with internet access.

The site which anyone, anywhere can join for free has something for everyone and should be particularly useful to anyone interested in family history. It offers free online access to the 19th Century British Library newspaper collection which has digitised copies of old local newspapers (National coverage), ideal for looking up reports of criminal proceedings, inquests ect. It also has free access to The Times Digital Archive (From 1785~1985). Both of these give access to news and events of the day via a simple search procedure. Just reading the old newspapers can give you an insight into peoples attitudes and priorities at the time.

In addition there are countless links to other sites of just about every type and subject.

To join all that you need to do is visit their site:

http://www.lancashire.gov.uk/libraries/borrower/join.asp

Fill in your details and you will be given a temporary log in number. Within a few days you will receive your membership card through the post which will give you access to their resources from your home computer. Just to reiterate membership is open to everyone no matter where you live in the UK and it is FREE.


Good luck.

Perhaps the event wasn't reported?

Or, if it was, the nespaper in question doesn't have its archived material on line
