British Library Newspapers, Part I and II (1800–1900) include regional and local newspaper titles that illuminate diverse and distinct regional attitudes, cultures, and vernaculars, providing an alternative viewpoint to the London-centric national press. Parts III (1741-1950), IV (1732-1950), and V (1746-1950) add even more regional and local depth, encompassing powerful provincial news journals, local interest publications, and specialist titles. Part VI (1783-1950) provides the Irish perspective, a counterpoint to the major UK daily newspapers.
FSU Libraries has access to parts one through six of the British Library Newspapers collection.
