How can newspapers assist the family history researcher?
Old newspapers can be an excellent source of information for family history. Sometimes the information reported about an individual may not have been recorded in any other source. The State Library of Queensland holds an extensive range of Queensland newspapers as well as selected interstate and overseas titles. The majority of old newspapers are held on microfilm. Please consult our One Search online catalogue for details of titles and holdings. There are also two listings in the Reading Room: Newspapers by place and Newspapers by title.
