Newspapers on microfilm

The microfilms are all housed on Level 1 of Western Bank Library. You must make an appointment to view them.

We will need to know which newspaper you would like to view and the newspaper date range that you'd like to look at. A member of staff will retrieve the microfilm before you visit and can also show you how to use the microfilm reader.
