News

Our news collection is a unique and extensive archive of newspapers, which has been acquired by legal deposit, purchase and donation, dating from the 17th century to today, including 36,000 titles

Electronic resources

We subscribe to many electronic resources containing digitised newspaper pages, in both facsimile and text only form.  

Following a cyber-attack in October 2023, most of these are unavailable.

You can access nearly 90 million pages of digitised newspapers for free on your own device when you’re in our Reading Rooms. Register for the BNA and connect to our WiFi to access.
