Irish Newspapers, 1763-1890 Online
« on: Friday 21 September 12 12:44 BST (UK) »
Evening,

Ancestry have just launched a collection of newspaper images from 30 newspapers from 1763-1890.

They can be browsed here:

At current there is no OCR index, though I'd image there will be soon enough.

I have 4 old newspapers found in my father's house some years ago and lying in a cupboard in my house since. I was wondering what is the best thing to do with them. They are not in great condition but are readable.
One is  ' The Belfast Newsletter" dated 12th June 1750. Number 1333. It has Henry and Robert Joy at the top.
One is 'Belfast Commercial Chronicle" dated 23rd December 1807.
The other 2 are 'The Northern Whig' one dated 18th February 1840 and the other dated 26th August 1868.

Stirrett, Service, Kerr, Laughlin - Antrim
Killough, McKay, Neely Armstrong - Kilrea
Rankin,Love, McNeely - Bready/Strabane
Burling - Cambridge
Irwin, Gault - Limavady

One option is to sell them on eBay. Another would be to give them to a library.

You could also digitalise them and post them online.

Transcribe the vitals from those papers and post them on rootschat. Great help to others.
