Free access to historic Isle of Man newspapers

From the Manx National Heritage Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/manxnationalheritage/:

Access to our digital newspaper collections is now free!

We’re pleased to share news of free access to our digital newspaper collections from today until the end of the current pandemic.

At a loose end whilst social distancing? iMuseum Newspapers 🗞 and publications provides digital access to Isle of Man Newspapers from 1792 to 1960. Also available are publications useful for understanding the Isle of Man’s heritage.

For those who may think a Manx site may be of no use for British or Irish research, I've just found a lengthy article on my 3 times great grandmother's murder in Perthshire in 1866. Have fun!
