Newspapers and news sources

Daily newspapers are now available on the rack near the entrace to level 4 of the Saltire Centre. Please return them after use.

Full text newspaper articles are available through a number of different routes. Most newspapers have a web site (see lists below) which will give access to the day's news, and sometimes a searchable archive of older material. Back issues of these and over 1200 key national and international titles are available via Proquest Newsstand online.

For much older issues try Nineteenth-century British Library Newspapers (includes the Glasgow Herald 1820-1900)
CD-ROMs are also available for some of the major British broadsheets and we still have one or two older runs on microfilm. See the table below for further information.

At the end of this page you'll find links to other online news sources.
