Old Newspapers

WinstonSmith · 2010-08-04 15:11:04

Hey all, I am wondering if anybody here, or knows anybody, who collects old newspapers. I am looking for the Irish times from March 9th 1963 and am a bit too miserly to pay for it on the internet. I realise this is a long shot, but thought I'd give it a go. Best, WS

Ring your local library and see if they have it on microfilm - you can then print it off.

If you're near Dublin you can get a reader's ticket with the National Library on Dawson Street and consult the paper on microfilm for free. If you're further away, your local library would be a good place to look, as mentioned by Diddler. However, in both instances you would have to pay to have the paper/page printed.
