UK Newspaper LIbrary
|
10 January 2012
There is a wonderful collection of South African newspapers at the British Library Newspaper Reading Room at Colindale in North London, and because there is not such a demand to view them as for British newspapers they are also mostly available as originals rather than filmed copies, BUT they don't allow digital cameras and their photocopying charges are astronomical.
For more information, see the British Library Newspaper Library web site.
The Brirish Library catalogue can be consulted here... - you can search just the Newspapers by choosing the appropriate category just to the left of the SEARCH button.
Its collection of British Newspapers is now searchable online and viewable for a fee: The British Newspaper Archive
