    On Newspapers in general.
    Google's News Archive search can be quite revealing of the public mood of the day - free results are usually clearest from Small-town American papers that have fully digitised their archives, but there does appear to be an ever growing amount of free contemporary articles on there:

    Thanks for that Rob - I have a load of WW2 newspaper research I want to do, but have been putting it off. I need to get in there quick before it closes for the move!

    If you have access to a university library system, many period newspapers are available in electronic or microfilm form - The Times, the Manchester Guardian (as was), and a number of popular papers like the Express and the Mirror, for instance.

    Best, Alan
