Newspapers are primary sources for historical research.
As well as having a good collection of Irish newspapers in Irish and English, including the series Irish Political and Radical Newspapers, we also have some British, French and Australian. There is a catalogue available on request at the Enquiry Desk in the Research Room. Most newspapers are on micro- film. The hard copy of some newspapers is held in the Library store. Access to these is by arrangement with the Staff in Q-1.
