More Newspapers: Overseas Newspapers and More Australian Newspapers

Presenter: Sue Reid

Newspapers are essential to family history research. We can find rich detail about people's personal, professional, and business lives from the content of newspapers—births, marriages, and deaths, community involvement, letters to the editor, and business advertisements. There is no limit to the variety of material. Australian researchers are well served for historic newspaper content with Trove Digitised Newspapers, but what about newspapers from overseas? What can we use? Also, what can we use to fill in some of the gaps in the titles on Trove?

In this presentation, Sue Reid will discuss free sources of overseas and Australian (apart from Trove) newspapers you can use to discover more about your family.
