Irish Newspaper Archive: National and Regional Papers

Published on
The Irish Newspaper Archive is a remarkable resource which provides access to a range of national and provincial newspapers, with extensive historical and contemporary coverage. The newspapers are in complete digital, searchable form. It is the only electronic source for the Irish Independent and the Sunday Independent.  The coverage of the provincial newspapers in particular is current. It is so good that the Irish Newspaper Archive is now the main method of access to these papers in the Library.
