Free access to British Newspaper Archive holdings on FindmyPast

FindmyPast (www.findmypast.co.uk) is offering free access to its newspaper collections from May 30th until June 6th.  You will need to register for a free account to use the collection.

Note that the search screen on FindmyPast's newspaper collections is not great - you may have more luck searching first on the British Newspaper Archive at www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk, and if you find something, then try to locate it on FindmyPast. (The sites hold largely the same records.)

To access the collection visit https://www.findmypast.co.uk/page/free-access.
