Newspapers Indexed so far.

We are continuing to index varied newspapers of the 19th and early 20th centuries in Victoria. All items are indexed from the newspapers including advertisements of local businesses, places, events and names that appear in articles.

The newspapers are reproduced in A3 format, the tabloids are produced on one sheet per page and the spreadsheet papers on two sheets per page.

Full references are given on the details page and can be ordered from Old News Copy or obtained from the State Library of Victoria.
