In the past month, Newspapers.com updated hundreds of titles across Canada, England, Wales, Scotland, and Ireland. Here are some highlights.
Canada (28 titles updated) includes major papers now running through 2026, led by the Toronto Star (1900–2026, 3.9 million pages), Calgary Herald (1888–2026), and all three main New Brunswick dailies. Three titles are brand new to the collection: Oakville Beaver, The Stayner Sun, and The News (Grimsby, Ontario).
England (200+ titles updated) ranges from the mighty Guardian (1821–2026, 2.8 million pages) down to dozens of local weeklies. Standouts for older research include the Salisbury Journal (1745–2024), Berrow’s Worcester Journal (1753–2024), and the Daily Graphic (1890–1922) — all valuable for pre-20th-century ancestors.
Wales (20 titles updated) is anchored by the South Wales Argus (1892–2024, 672,000 pages) and the Pontypool Free Press, which stretches back to 1861. North Wales researchers should note the Wrexham Evening Leader (400,000+ pages).
Scotland (23 titles updated) is headlined by The Herald, Glasgow (1820–2024, 446,000 pages) — one of the oldest English-language newspapers still publishing — alongside the Greenock Telegraph (1857–2024) and East Lothian Courier (1859–2024).
Ireland (5 titles updated) packs a punch: the Irish Independent (1891–2025, 1.56 million pages) and Evening Herald (1892–2025, 1.2 million pages) together offer comprehensive Dublin coverage, while the Impartial Reporter from Enniskillen (1849–2024) is the gem for Northern Ireland and Fermanagh research.
The year range shown does not mean there’s complete coverage. For example, the local papers I’ll be reviewing when I return from vacation — the Great Yarmouth Mercury (1934, and 1952-2024), the Lowestoft Journal (1952-1996 and 2023-2024), and the Eastern Daily Press (1870-1929 and 1952-2024).
