In addition, many extra editions have been uploaded for some of the titles already available online. The collection of
Newry Examiner and Louth Advertiser has grown to nearly three times its previous size with 1,440 editions now searchable, while the
Northern Whig has more than doubled to 5,059 editions. The
Limerick Reporter holding has jumped from 617 editions to 1,107 and the
Limerick Evening Post from just 17 to 452.
Smaller-sized top-ups have joined the collections for the
Belfast Mercantile Register & Weekly Advertiser, the
Galway Vindicator & Connaught Advertiser, and the
Irish Racing Book.
The entire collection is now available to subscribers of British Newspaper Archive and to those with a World or Ireland package from
FindMyPast.
