    The archive has 19th and some 20th century newspapers, which seem to be restricted, as far as this part of Ireland is concerned, to the Cork Examiner and The Freeman's Journal (which no doubt disappeared or became something else, and must have been based in Dublin).

    Unfortunately, you have to cough up good money to actually see anything bar the first few lines of an article.:(

    Obviously gets a mention re the Irish Newspaper Archives.:o
    The Freeman’s Journal was Ireland’s longest running National Newspaper running for 161 years from 1763 to 1924. Throughout its long history the newspaper reflected the turbulent changes in Irish society from the Wolf-Tone Rebellion, to the Great Famine and the Establishment of the Irish Free State. The Freeman’s Journal is the single greatest source for social, political and historical studies relating to Ireland’s intricate and often volatile past.
    The archives are now available online at www.irishnewsarchive.com. Fully word searchable and completely indexed Irish Newspaper Archives offers individual researchers and institutes / universities alike unprecedented access to a wealth of national and international history.
    Date Range available: 1763-1824, 1835-1841 & 1872-1924 (missing periods to be filled in by September 2009)
    Counties Served: National
