The British Newspaper Archive is an online newspaper archive created by the partnership between Findmypast and the British Library. It's available for free in all Glasgow Libraries!
The British Library's collection of historical newspapers contains newspapers from the 1600s to the present day, from Britain, Ireland and further afield. There are over 600,000 bound volumes of newspapers (occupying 32 kilometres, or 20 miles, of shelving) and over 300,000 reels of microfilm (occupying a further 13 kilometres, or 8 miles, of shelving). Until now, the only way to view these newspapers was to visit the British Library, and, of course, it was not possible to search them.
Where possible we will update our listings to notify of cancelled, postponed and rescheduled events, however we STRONGLY ADVISE that you check with the venue/organiser in the first instance for updates.
