Historical news sources

The National Library of Australia's (NLA) Digitised newspapers and gazettes is one of the best resources for finding historical Australian news.

Many Australian newspapers between 1803 and 1955 have been digitised by State Libraries or the National Library of Australia and are freely available online via NLAs Trove database.
Newspaper content from 1955 to the 1990s may not be consistently available online due to copyright restrictions. To access content from this timeframe, you may need to submit a document delivery request.
Some current newspapers from 1990 to the present day are available online. You can find many of these online newspapers in the ProQuest ANZ Newsstream database.
