If you haven't heard of, or used the Gale Primary Sources - Historical Newspapers before, you need to.

The Gale Primary Sources, also variously known as the Gale Newspapers or Gale NewsVault allows libraries to offer their members access to these historical newspapers from their own home.

Most historical newspaper titles in the Gale Primary Collection are from Great Britain. But you will also find titles from Australia, Barbados, Canada, France, Germany, India, New Zealand and more included as well. 

You can simultaneously search or browse titles such as Times Digital Archive, and the 17th and 18th Century Burnley Collection, and they have all been OCRd. 

This brief guide will help you get the most from the Gale Primary Sources.
