British Newspaper Archive

The University Library does not own a subscription to the British News Archive because it does not provide institutional access to its content. However, much of the full text is available through access to the Gale News Vault. Full text not available through this resource can often be accessed through Interlibrary Loan or through other resources. The British News Archive does serve as a valuable index that helps you find citations to articles that might be of interest. Once you have found a citation in British News Archive, check for the full text in Gale News Vault or ask a librarian for suggestions on how to get the articles that you need.
