You can order copies of articles from any newspaper title we hold.

  • A copy of the text from the results page if possible (including the columns either side of the result itself).
  • If you can't include the copy, please include at least the date and page reference (e.g. 3c) of the article, as well as the subject, to enable us to locate the article in the original paper.

Copies from other newspapers

Please include in your email or letter:

  • The subject of the article - with as much detail as possible. Please note if a photograph is included.
  • The title of the newspaper with issue date (and page number if possible)
