The library currently has a trial with the Irish Newspaper Archive database.  This contains over thirty full-text Irish national and regional newspapers, some of which date back to the 18th century. Included is the Belfast Newsletter, Irish and Sunday Independent, Meath Chronicle, Longford Leader, Ulster Herald, Westmeath Examiner, among others.

Please note: the trial is only available on-campus.


The Irish Times Digital Archive is also currently allowing access to materials from 1996-present (click on Search on the top-left of the page).


Don't forget to gather the information you need to reference any articles as you read them.
