From the Irish Newspaper Archives |
It's called the Radical Newspaper Archive, and it holds an extraordinary collection of more than 115 Irish radical and political newspapers, journals, pamphlets and bulletins.
Spanning one of the most important periods of Irish history, these somewhat obscure titles provide an insight into a myriad of opinions on Irish life. Covering events such as Home Rule, the redistribution of land, the 1913 Lock Out, the 1916 Rising and its aftermath, the War of Independence, the fractious Civil War, the rise of Fascism in Ireland and the Economic War of the 1930s, and more, The Radical Newspaper Archive sheds important new light on all of these critical moments.
The fully searchable archive consists of more than 11,000 editions with a total count of 102,755 pages. It also has its own dedicated online presence and pricing plans via the link above.
Meanwhile, the parent Irish Newspaper Archive has been updated with the following new content:
(Cork) Evening Echo: editions published 1960–1968 (this holding now runs 1896–1968)
Kilkenny People: editions published in 2005 (this holding now runs 1895–current)
Nationalist & Munster Advertiser: editions published in 2005 (this holding now runs 1889–current)
