Two new Irish titles join British Newspaper Archive

The BritishNewspaperArchive.co.uk has added the Newtownards Chronicle & Co. Down Observer and the Sport to its database.

These are the first Irish papers to debut on the site since April, and bring the total number of titles from Ireland in the online archive to 177 (51 of them from Northern Ireland).

As with all titles in the online British Newspaper Archive, these publications are shared with FindMyPast where they can be found in the Irish Newspaper Collection.
