Where can i find old newspaper articles online for free?

Answer 1

Some newspaper's websites allow you to search their archive going back as far as ten years; for some you have to pay, for some you just have to register and others require nothing.

If you want more, the Times Digital Archive allows you to search every issue of the The Times of London from the 1790s to 1980s. And there is a site called NewsBank which lets you search 40 UK and US newspapers going back about ten years. I'm sure I've also used NexisLexis for reading old newspaper articles. None of these sites are free, and I can't even remember their addresses, so the thing to do would be to find a well-equipped local library which subscribes to these sites and use them there. If the library has these they will certainly help you. I have been using old newspapers for about ten years and in the last two or three it has gotten much easier to search their content.

Answer 2

It depends upon the newspaper. Some papers, like "The Times" charge you a fee.

Many local newspapers are not on-line at all.

If you are interested in a particular paper search for its title and find out what is available.

For local papers ask in your local library. They usually keep back copies of the quality national newspapers for a year or two.

If you are in the United Kingdom, your last resort is the British Library which has a newpaper collection at Colindale, North West London. See http://www.bl.uk/collections/newspapers

Answer 3

Try your library. The library has microfilm and sometimes
there is volunters that can help you. It cannot be a small
library but a the main library. Good luck.
