    Default British Newspaper Archives

    Folks,
    Recently i read a post which,from memory,related to the above site,and someone commented on being able to access it through National Library of Australia.
    Hoping to find a way to do just that.

    There is a 'formula' for finding a particular phrase in a post on BG, but obviously my brain can't remember it, though I do remember you have to use quotation marks.

    Would it not be simpler to just contact the National Library and ask them?

    ADDED: Don't forget to come back and tell us what they said.

    This describes overseas newspapers on line at NLA - once registered with them. It does not include BNA. I have searched the NLA for titles within the "British Library Newspapers" range and had positive results. Searching NLA for titles within the "British National Archive" range returns a nil result.
    I appreciate searching NLA returns a message explaining that some collections might not be available because of current building work but I don't think it applies in this case.
    The only mention I can find of "British Newspaper Archive" at NLA is Sue Reid's book "Getting the most of online newspapers" - not that I've read it!
    Whichever, best check with NLA - just in case.
