Do you want to find historical images, articles, cartoons or maps printed in Australian newspapers?

On 25 July 2008, in collaboration with the State and Territory libraries, the National Library of Australia launched the Australian Newspapers Beta service which makes available out-of-copyright digitised Australian newspapers.

This exciting new online service enables the full-text searching of newspapers published in each state and territory from the 1800s to the mid-1950s.

The first Australian newspaper, the Sydney Gazette published in Sydney in 1803, is included in the service. The Australian Newspapers Beta service already contains over 90,000 newspaper pages from 1803 onwards, with more pages being added daily. The National Library of Australia welcomes your feedback on the service, and will continue development of the service over the next few months.

Discover the wealth of Australian Newspapers online at the Australian Newspapers Beta service !
