Hi Ruskie

I am aware that I can access papers at libraries - I am in Australia, our local library only allows one hour access per day - doesn't give much time for in depth research - so I would have to travel a couple of hours to the Victorian Library - I suppose I should renew my membership here and see if they have digital access.

I will try some of the overseas libraries to see if I can join.

Thanks
Shirley

Shirley I initially had access to the 19thC British Newspapers via another forum.  The current password to access the Gale collection used to spread like a virus I then accessed the papers at home from the NLA but I now access it at home  from the State Library of Victoria.    Renew your membership   You can now join online.  When my card expired recently I renewed it with a quick phone call so I could access the site immediately....was in the middle of research .

Thanks Cando

I'll check to see if my card is still valid - if not time to renew.

Hi - have just found this thread.  It goes away back.
I am interested in the shipping records for the Light of the Age that arrived in 1866.
So it is available at the QSA??  It doesn't appear to have ever been indexed.
My ancestor Charles McKenna I believe was on the boat along with his sister, her husband and son - Ellen and Matthew Carroll (pioneers of the Nambour region).
my ancestor also went to Stanthorpe,
kind regards,
Karen.
