Between 1996 and 1998, the British Library Newspaper Library announced in issues no. 22, 24, and 25 of its Newsletter, Newspaper Library News, its intention to dispose of the hard copy of selected post-1850 overseas newspapers, which it holds on microfilm. A number of donations of newspapers was made to libraries subsequently. The following list is made available in order to help researchers to trace the current location of these original newspaper holdings, which were formerly held in hard copy by the Newspaper Library, and are still held there on microfilm. Date ranges show the earliest and latest years of the hard copies; some runs are imperfect, though, with issues wanting.
Researchers are advised please to check with each library regarding the availability of the original, hard-copy newspapers.
