What's the pass word please??

the password is British
Jan

Hi, thanks Jan , I have missed having access to old newspapers. I have just managed to log on but it would not accept British with a capital B, it needs to be british all in lower case.

Julie

Sorry Julie,

I just used a capital B for the correct spelling of British, I didn't realise it would be lower case.

I have just typed in the word Liverpool in the search and no newspaper name and between years 1900 and 1903, there is a paper that has illustrations some great pictures of fashions etc, but not a Liverpool newspaper

Have fun.

Jan

Hello Jan
How on earth did you find the link??
Well done!
I used search publication by location, north west, liverpool drop down box to Lpool Mercury..wow
Thank you
Tina
pooh I've forgotten whom I want to look up

Has anyone got the Liverpool Mercury after 1900? I have only managed that year and no later.
Thanks for the new link, anyway, as the old one is now slamming the door.

An early Christmas gift.
The Liverpool Mercury seems to finish,November 29,1900,maybe later on in the month, more will be added.

All the best Tsumi

I typed in on my address bar 19th Century British Library Newspapers and the site came up.

I don't know if The Liverpool Mercury is on there after 1900, I don't think it is.

Jan

Great Jan,

Thanks

Sue

That's smashing Jan, I was missing it but now I've got it back I've also forgotten what I wanted dumbo!!

Hi, does any one have a new link for this site or a password please, not having any luck with it. Cheers L.B

The only way I know of at present is to apply for a Lancashire Library card, which they seem to allow regardless of where you live

http://www.lancashire.gov.uk/libraries/ ... r/join.asp

I've got a Lancs. Library Card so how do I use it to access the newspaper site please?
Lil

Hi All,

I've tried getting on to this site using all combinations of 'british' and haven't been able to access it. Any ideas?

Regards,

Roy Montrose

Hi Lil,

If you have a Lancashire library card, go to the site

http://infotrac.galegroup.com/itweb/lancs?db=BNCN

Type in the barcode numbers on your library card.

I got one a couple of weeks ago, works great.

Thanks to MaryA putting us in the picture for this one

Jan

Thank you so much for info, knew some one would be there to help as always, cheers L.B

Roy,

The link I first put on was an old link, if you follow MaryA's link, apply for a lancashire library card on the site, they will send one out to you within a few days, then go to new link I have put on (in the message to Lil, then you will be able to log in using the barcode number on the library card Lancs library send to you.

They will ask you what library you want to use, I just put Ormskirk as my choice.

Hope that helps.

Jan

Hi Jan,

Thanks for the info. I've applied on line and now await my card. They sent me a temporary number which I've tried as a password on the newspaper site but it doesn't work, so I'll wait and see what happens when my card comes through, thanks again,

Roy Montrose

Hi Jan,
Thank you for that information. I'm not sure what the site can help with, but it's always worth a try
