Thanks for the help

Jenny,
just go to www.nla.gov.au/ and scroll down the page till you find the link "Get a library card". You fill in the form online , send and you should receive your card in the post within a couple of weeks.
There are 6 pages of licenced databases.....of great variety, including several of some interest to family historians.

Best one I have found so far is a mention of my ggg-grandfather in regards to Christmas in Adelaide in 1961. The article was a great description of how Christmas was celebrated that year, just 25 years after the first colonists arrived in South Australia.
I also found that my ggg-grandmother was receiving rations from the Destitute Board......her husband deserted her to go off to the Victorian Gold Rush and he never returned.
It truly is going to be a wonderful source of information for family historians.

The link http://ndpbeta.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/home seems to be broken just now; maybe too many rootschatters trying it out!

Just to clarify something, the National Library of Australia has a site for the Digitalisation of Newspapers 1803 - 1954 at
http://ndpbeta.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/home
which you can access anytime.
However, they also have available, access to many other journals, newspapers etc. including 19th century English papers and the London Times newspapers 1785-1985. This requires you to be an Australian and have a National Library card. You can get to this section by going to
http://www.nla.gov.au/app/eresources/
While we are on the subject, you can access PictureAustralia with many photos of all sorts of things Australian at
http://www.pictureaustralia.org/index.html
For instance, I entered Sydney in the Search box and got over 207,000 entries.
Good luck
Jean

Thank you for that information Jean,
I do know that 2 family members have been in english newspapers after their death so I was hoping to see if I could find any other newspaper clippings on them.
I will certainly be looking at each site you have suggested so thank you very much.

Hi All,
Has anyone heard when the Sydney Morning Herald will be uploaded to that wonderful site. I had heard Jan 2009, then there was a delay and it was to be Mar 09. It's mid April now and I have not found smh there yet. But I have my reader card, and have found info about my first arrivals back in penal times! Cheers from me!
