Ged derby 0 Posted May 25, 2020 Report Share Posted May 25, 2020 Hi great page I am after several old articles from the Evening Post during the 1970’s, does anyone know if they are available to view online, I am aware libraries are all closed and the British newspaper archive page only covers up until 1940 hopefully with more interest it may get digitised in its entirety https://help-and-advice.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk/forums/243704-newspapers-we-should-add-next/suggestions/5990312-nottingham-evening-post Are there any other avenues to take many thanks for your help x Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beekay 5,094 Posted May 25, 2020 Report Share Posted May 25, 2020 Greetings Ged derby, welcome to NS., I'm sure some of the members should be able to enlighten your search. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DAVIDW 1,674 Posted May 25, 2020 Report Share Posted May 25, 2020 To be honest you may have to wait till the Nottingham Archives re-opens to be able to view 1970s Evening Post or Journal newspapers . Having said that I've never been , so unsure what copies they actually have . The Evening Posts are viewable online up to 1950 and Journal up to 1953 . It's worth checking out other regional papers if the story was of enough interest . The Coventry and Birmingham papers often covered Notts stories and have later issues on the online platforms . Good luck 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cliff Ton 10,435 Posted May 26, 2020 Report Share Posted May 26, 2020 As well as the Nottingham Archives - as mentioned by DAVIDW - you could also talk to the Local Studies Section of Nottingham Central Library. https://www.nottinghamcity.gov.uk/leisure-and-culture/libraries/find-a-library/nottingham-local-studies-library/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fogrider 179 Posted May 26, 2020 Report Share Posted May 26, 2020 When I was doing research into the Dakins building on Talbot Street, I went to the local history library on Angel row a few times, they were always so helpful, nothing was a bother and me being non-tech, they showed me each time how to use the readers for the micro-films (of the old newspapers ). Go there ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gaynor 0 Posted March 1, 2021 Report Share Posted March 1, 2021 Hello Can anyone help me to help me locate an article from 1986. Many thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AfferGorritt 868 Posted March 1, 2021 Report Share Posted March 1, 2021 As has been said before, the British Newspaper Archives is online, but only covers Nottingham papers up to 1950 (I think!). The Central library had microfiche copies of the 1980’s Evening Post which you can access for free. However, I think the library is now closed permanently, pending the opening of the new Broadmarsh library. I would imagine the microfiche archive has been moved to the Nottinghamshire Archives building on Wilford Street - which is currently closed. However, after all this waffling I notice that you haven’t said which newspaper you’re looking for! All of the above might be completely wrong, but I can’t be a**** to delete it all!

AfferGorritt 868 Posted March 1, 2021 Report Share Posted March 1, 2021 Oops! Guess it’s the Evening Post! The above might help then - when everywhere opens up again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
